Description

The ARA (Askaryan Radio Array) experiment at the South Pole utilizes a variety of technologies new to neutrino physics. Development efforts in broadband antennas, low-noise amplifiers, RF over fiber, pattern recognition triggers, low-power digitizers, and low-temperature capable electronics are ongoing. We report on the direct science impacts of the hardware developments.
