The Status of the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland

ORAL

Abstract

Neutrinos are the ideal messenger for high-energy astrophysics. Weakly interacting and uncharged, they propagate undeterred and unabsorbed through the universe. Embedded radio experiments can detect the coherent radio emission from neutrino interactions in ice using a sparse array of detectors to build enormous neutrino target volumes at the highest energies (> PeV scale). Currently under construction at the NSF-run Summit Station in Greenland, the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) consists of 35 autonomous stations that will comprise the first neutrino telescope with access to the Northern sky at the highest energies. Each station includes a deep component deployed with a phased array trigger and a surface component for event characterization and cosmic ray identification. We will present the status of the instrument and its construction and its connection as a testbed for the radio array for IceCube-Gen2.
