Simulation of Salt Neutrino Detector Performance for Ultra High-Energy Neutrino Detection
Abstract
Detection possibility of ultra high-energy (UHE) neutrino (E >1015 eV) in natural huge rock salt formation has been studied. Collision between the UHE neutrino and the rock salt produces electromagnetic (EM) shower. Charge difference (excess electrons) between electrons and positrons in EM shower radiates radio wave coherently (Askar'yan effect). In this paper, detection possibility of Salt Neutrino Detector (SND) was studied using SND simulator including attenuation length, background noise and bandwidth of antennae.
