RADIO TECHNIQUE FOR INVESTIGATING HIGH ENERGY COSMIC NEUTRINOS

We consider an alternative detection strategy based on coherent radio Cherenkov emission from neutrino-induced showers in natural salt. We present the basic structure of the detector and analyze the characteristics of the radio signal on its propagation from the shower to the antenna. We also study how the pulse couples to the receiver. The behavior of the key instrument-radio antenna is characterized and signal-to-noise ratio limiting situations are also presented.
