Abstract

[The search for isolated VPOL RF signals within the ANITA-2 data returned two events that the analysis classed as isolated signals consistent with the expectation from neutrino interactions. Using the expected number of background events, this result can be used to place a constraint on the flux of UHE neutrinos. Such a limit is implemented in this chapter in two ways. Firstly, it is possible to place an overall, model-independent, limit on the UHE neutrino flux as a function of primary energy. Secondly, ANITA-2’s directionally dependent exposure is used to place UHE neutrino flux limits on specific sources.]
