Radiodetection of neutrino interactions in ice

Abstract

We study the Cherenkov radiopulses emitted in PeV and EeV neutrino interactions in ice. We discuss how the rich radiation pattern in the 100 MHz to 1 GHz frequency range, in principle allows the measurement of shower elongation produced in neutrino interactions opening up the possibility of flavor recognition identifying charged current electron neutrino interactions.
