Abstract content

The balloon-borne ANITA neutrino telescope completed a successful 35-day flight during the 2006-2007 austral summer. The primary goal of ANITA is to search for evidence of ultra high-energy neutrinos (E > 10^19 eV) interacting in the Antarctic ice sheets. In this paper, we present preliminary results of the simulated sensitivity of ANITA, incorporating the actual flight path, geographic and vertical temperature dependence of ice, and flight trigger conditions.
Results are compared to standard neutrino flux models.
