Invited Lecture

The use of acoustic methods for the detection of high energy neutrinos is one of a number of techniques that can be used to record these relativistic fundamental particles. This presentation will briefly justify the interest in high and ultra-high energy neutrinos as well as briefly discuss other techniques currently in use to detect them. The presentation will then turn to the acoustic...

63. Listening for neutrinos - from astrophysics to the deep sea - Part II

Prof. Sean Danaher (Northumbria University)

Invited Lecture

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...

Invited Lecture

In recent years the astro-particle community is involved in the realization of experimental apparatuses for the detection of high energy neutrinos, originated in cosmic sources or produced in the interaction of cosmic rays with the cosmic microwave background. For neutrino energies in the TeV-PeV range, the underwater optical Cherenkov technique is considered as optimal. For higher energies,...
