The Search for Ultra High-Energy Neutrinos With The ANITA Experiment

The ANITA (ANtarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna) experiment is an innovative balloon-borne radio telescope, designed to detect coherent Cherenkov emission from cosmogenic ultra high-energy neutrinos with energy greater than $10^{18}$ eV. The second flight of the ANITA experiment launched on December 21\textsuperscript{st} 2008, and collected data for 30 days. This large data set allows for the most sensitive investigation into the exciting GZK (Greisin-Zatsepin-Kuzmin) neutrino flux regime to date. I will present the status of the first pass analysis of the ANITA-II data set. I will discuss calibration techniques, analysis methods, and background rejection.
