Description

The optical Cerenkov technique has been tremendously successful and has now measured astrophysical neutrinos up to ~10 PeV. At higher energies, the neutrino fluxes become so low that km^2 detection areas are not enough, and other techniques are needed to cover areas of order 100 km^2 or more. I will give an overview of searches for neutrino-induced showers at the highest energies using radio techniques. I will review complementary strategies for searching for neutrino-induced radio impulses that include viewing the Antarctic ice sheet from the stratosphere, searching from within the Antarctic ice sheet, and searching for the radio signature due to air showers from tau decay products. I will also touch on new ideas under development.
