Abstract

[The default UHE neutrino Monte-Carlo simulation used by ANITA is icemc, written by Amy Connolly and others [1]. This simulation generates neutrinos from a given energy spectrum and propagates them through the Earth. Upon a simulated neutrino interacting in ice (or other desired medium), icemc generates and propagates the resultant Askaryan radiation. Icemc also simulates the ANITA-2 payload, with the response to radio signals, a trigger simulation and thermal noise generation. Finally, icemc contains an array of editable options, providing control over a range of aspects from the UHE neutrino energy spectrum through to ANITA trigger banding and logic. A schematic of the steps required for a simulation that will inform us of ANITA’s sensitivity to UHE neutrinos is given in Fig. 5.1.]
