Abstract
The Radar Echo Telescope (RET) aims to observe the cosmic neutrino flux at the highest energies (> 10 PeV) using radar. Radar allows for determining the position, speed and direction of any radio-reflecting object. In-ice neutrino interactions leave a dense ionisation trail that can serve as a short-lived macroscopic radar target. Therefore, radar is a potential cost-effective radio-based approach for detecting neutrinos at high energies. Using our newly obtained insights into the radar echo signal properties in both the time domain and frequency domain, we discuss reconstruction methods and detector optimisation techniques for the future Radar Echo Telescope for Neutrinos (RET-N).
