Description

ANITA is a NASA balloon-borne radio (200-1200 MHz) telescope with a primary goal of detecting coherent radio emission from ultra-high-energy (UHE) neutrinos. The instrument is also sensitive to detect radio impulses produced by cosmic ray induced extensive air showers. ANITA-4 flew Dec 2, 2016 and landed Dec 29, 2016 after 28 days.
This talk will present the ANITA-IV instrument, flight operation, calibration, and the status of ongoing data analysis.
