Development of a Sub-glacial Radio Telescope for the Detection of GZK Neutrinos

 The goal of the project presented in this book is to detect neutrinos created by resonant interactions of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays on the CMB photon field filling the Universe. In this pioneering first analysis, the author puts forward much of the analysis framework, including calibrations of t...
