Description

The Radar Echo Telescope (RET) experiment aims to probe the cosmic neutrino flux at >PeV energies using radar. We present our latest results, discussing the RET-CR pathfinder experiment deployed at Summit Camp, Greenland. The RET-CR experiment aims to detect the in-ice continuation of high-energy cosmic-ray-induced particle cascades hitting the ~3km altitude Greenlandic ice sheet. The in-air cascade is tagged through the RET-CR surface scintillator component that also aids in the event reconstruction. Once detected, a trigger is sent to the in-ice radar system and its data is read out to search for the radar echo from the particle cascade in-ice continuation. We show first results of our ongoing data analysis and present our simulation framework.
