Reconstructing Neutrino-induced Particle Showers in Ice from their Radio Emission — •Christoph Welling for the RNO-G collaboration — DESY, Platanenallee 6, Zeuthen

For the detection of astrophysical neutrinos with energies beyond 10 PeV, a detection volume of several cubic kilometers is required. One solution to overcome this challenge is the detection of radio emission from neutrino-induced particle cascades in glacial ice. Starting in summer 2020 a first discovery-scale radio detector will be deployed in the Greenland ice sheet. In this talk, we present how the detector will be used to detect neutrinos and how their properties can be reconstructed from the data obtained.
