Abstract

The balloon-borne ANITA neutrino telescope successfully launched from McMurdo Station, Antarctica during the 2006-2007 austral summer. In this paper we present ongoing studies of the energy resolution and system response of the ANITA detector, which provide an excellent test bed for validating the ANITA Monte Carlo and will be of great interest if ANITA discovers signal events. While in view of the launch site ANITA received calibration pulses from two antennas, located on the surface and in a borehole in the Ross Ice Shelf, which facilitate these studies.
