Title:  "The ANITA experiment: A Million Cubic Kilometer Search for High
Energy Neutrinos in Antarctica"

Abstract:

The deep ice of the Antarctic plateau provides a large target volume 
for capturing cosmic neutrino interactions, and offers the possibility 
of extremely high energy neutrino astronomy.  The ANITA experiment is 
a NASA Long-Duration Balloon payload that exploits the exceptional 
radio-frequency transparency of cold ice, >1km, to search for >EeV 
neutrinos predicted by the GZK process.   These neutrinos would 
interact in ice and produce sub-nanosecond bursts of bright VHF and 
UHF radiation via the Askaryan effect, which we characterized at the 
Stanford Linear Accelerator.  ANITA-1 completed a successful flight in 
the Dec 06 - Jan 07 austral summer and I plan to report on the 
neutrino search, including tools developed for data analysis which 
employ a hybrid of radio-astronomy and high-energy physics techniques.  
I will report on our new flight, ANITA-2, just completed during Dec 
08 - Jan 09.
