Description
The Giant Radio Array for Neutrino Detection is an international proposal aiming at the detection of Ultra High Energy Neutrinos with a network of ~20 giant arrays (10'000km² each) of radio antennas, in its baseline design.
In its present phase, the GRAND collaboration aims at performing a pure and efficient autonomous radio detection of extensive air showers, down to horizontal trajectories. Its main tool for this is the GRANDProto300 setup, a 300-antenna setup being deployed in a remote area of the Gobi desert, within the Gansu province, China.
I will present the status of the GRANDProto300 detector, detail the effort of the collaboration to quatify its performances in terms of background rejection and signal selection, and display some cosmic ray candidates observed with the GRANPProto300 detector.
