Abstract Details

2018, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Physics.
Ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos are an important and under-explored component of multi-messenger astronomy. The Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) is a balloon-borne discovery experiment, searching for the ¿rst neutrinos in an energy region above IceCube’s energy band. ANITA ¿ies over Antarctica, one of the most radio-quiet areas on the planet. Anthropogenic noise, however, is still an enormous problem for ANITA. We discuss here the addition of the Tunable Universal Front-end Filter (TUFF) as a method of ¿ltering continuous wave (CW) noise for ANITA-IV, as well as the reintroduction of the hybrid, a signal polarization converter, added to o¿er a means of avoiding false triggers on satellite CW noise. We also discuss the analysis of ANITA-III data, using a binned analysis method which splits the ice of Antarctica into smaller regions, with the end goal of discovering UHE neutrino candidates or setting a limit on neutrino production models.
