Speaker

Prof. Sean Danaher (Northumbria University)

Description

This lecture will discuss both the hardware and software needed to acoustically detect neutrinos and will cover topics such as Hydrophone structure, Analogue to digital converters, Fourier Transforms, matched filtering, spectral analysis and the Hilbert Transform for envelope detection. Although the topics covered are in general very mathematical the talk will be very descriptive and have any examples and illustrations rather than detailed mathematical workings and will be geared towards a general scientific audience.
