The detection of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays and neutrinos through their radio signals

Dr Katharine Mulrey Associate professor - Astrophysics  (Radboud University, the Netherlands).

 

Cosmic rays have been observed for over a century, and yet the sources of the highest energy particles still remain a mystery. We can detect these cosmic rays, and the associated high energy neutrinos, through the particle cascades they initiate when they interact in the atmosphere or the earth. In this talk, I will present an overview of modern efforts to measure these cascades using the radio signals they generate, in particular, using radio telescopes like LOFAR and the SKA.
