Simulation of the radio signal from ultrahigh energy neutrino-initiated showers

Abstract

PeV neutrinos produce particle showers when they interact with the atomic nuclei in ice. We briefly describe characteristics of these showers and the radio Cherenkov signal produced by the showers. We study pulses from electromagnetic (em), hadronic, and combined em-hadronic showers and propose extrapolations to EeV energies.
