SubsidieMeestersDiscovering neutrinos of extreme energies with the Radio Neutrino Observatory Greenland
The RNO-G project aims to enhance ultra-high energy neutrino detection using advanced simulations and calibration techniques to uncover cosmic ray sources and new particle physics insights.
Projectdetails
Introduction
The discovery of neutrinos above energies of 1e16 eV promises to uncover the unknown sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays, new insights into the astrophysics of these sources, and particle propagation through the Universe. Additionally, it may lead to new particle physics at energies far higher than those accessible to man-made accelerators.
Project Overview
The Radio Neutrino Observatory Greenland (RNO-G) is currently under construction and is scheduled to reach 35 stations in 2026. The in-ice radio array RNO-G is the first large-scale implementation of the radio Askaryan technique and will provide an order of magnitude better discovery sensitivity than existing experiments.
Leadership and Collaboration
Its construction and operation is led by me and two colleagues from the US and Europe. This proposal maximizes RNO-G's potential to discover the long-awaited ultra-high energy neutrinos.
Research Methodology
My research group will achieve this by enabling high-efficiency and high-purity neutrino searches in data through:
- Novel simulations with improved accuracy
- High-precision instrument calibration
- Unique exploitation of cosmic ray signals as a training tool
