The lunar Askaryan technique is a method to study the highest-energy cosmic rays and their predicted counterparts, the ultra-high-energy neutrinos. By observing the Moon with a radio telescope, and searching for the characteristic nanosecond-scale As

The lunar radio Cherenkov technique uses the moon as a large-volume detector for ultra-high energy (UHE) cosmic rays and neutrinos. We review the issues and techniques needed for sensitive radio detection of nanosecond pulses from UHE neutrino events

We report radio continuum observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array of two molecular clouds. The impetus for these observations is a search for synchrotron radiation by cosmic ray secondary electrons/positrons in a region of enhanced de

Limit on ultrahigh energy neutrino flux from the Parkes Lunar Radio Cherenkov experiment

Publikováno v: Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. 379:1037-1041

The first search for ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos using a radio telescope was conducted by Hankins, Ekers and O'Sullivan (1996). This was a search for nanosecond duration radio Cherenkov pulses from electromagnetic cascades initiated by ultra-hi

Limit on the ultrahigh-energy neutrino flux from lunar observations with the Parkes radio telescope

Publikováno v: Physical Review D. 91

We report a limit on the ultra-high-energy neutrino flux based on a non-detection of radio pulses from neutrino-initiated particle cascades in the Moon, in observations with the Parkes radio telescope undertaken as part of the LUNASKA project. Due to
