Description

Two ultrahigh-energy ($>10^{17}$ eV) neutrino detectors are being deployed in Antarctica: the Askaryan Radio Array (ARA) and the Antarctic Ross Ice-Shelf Antenna Neutrino Array (ARIANNA). As the experiments differ in both the design and the surrounding ice, we describe the progress of a joint effort to understand the importance of these differences and we demonstrate convergent results in their simulated detector responses.
