Description
The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory is sensitive to neutrinos of all flavors for primary neutrino energies above 0.1 EeV and zenith angles above $60^{\circ}$. During the 20 years of Auger operation, we put stringent limits on the existence of a diffuse flux of ultra-high-energy neutrinos and also on neutrino fluxes from point-like steady sources, including those of neutrinos detected in coincidence with gravitational wave events. We further severely constrain the secondary by-product fluxes expected from the decay of super-heavy dark matter particles in the Galactic halo. Finally, we also analyzed the monocular data from our Fluorescence Detector to search for upward-going tau-neutrino events consistent with the two "anomalous" radio pulses observed by the ANITA flights I and III. In this talk, we review our neutrino searches and present our prospects for the new neutrino triggers with AugerPrime, the major update of the Pierre Auger Observatory.
