Abstract

ANITA is a balloon borne radio telescope designed to detect the interactions of ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos (> 3x10¹⁸ eV) in the Antarctic ice cap. These interactions produce Cherenkov radiation in the form of a distinct broadband radio pulse known as the Askaryan effect. The pure, radio transparent Antarctic ice cap serves as an almost ideal medium for the generation of these pulses and ANITA will have an effective viewing area of one million km2 at float altitude. A prototype experiment, ANITA-LITE was flown during the 2003/2004 Austral summer from Antarctica to do an impulsive RF background survey. We present a discussion of the instrumentation and technique we will use to utilize the ice cap as a detector to measure the UHE neutrino flux.
