Calorimetry of the Rice Detector
Abstract
Radio Ice Cherenkov Experiment (RICE) is an ultrahigh-energy (UHE) cosmic ray neutrino detector for neutrino energies greater than a PeV. This pilot project explores the radio detection technique for UHE particles. Deployed at the Antarctic polar ice cap, RICE antennas have been operational since 1996. Basic calibrations of the antenna array have been done using data taken mostly in situ. The calibration results and an upper limit on electron neutrino flux based on one month of analyzed data are reported here.
