On the feasibility of RADAR detection of high-energy cosmic neutrinos

We discuss the radar detection technique as a probe for high-energy cosmic neutrino induced particle cascades in a dense medium like ice. With the recent detection of high-energy cosmic neutrinos by the IceCube neutrino observatory the window to neutrino astronomy has been opened. We discuss a new technique to detect cosmic neutrinos at even higher energies than those covered by IceCube, but with an energy threshold below the currently operating Askaryan radio detectors. A calculation for the radar return power, as well as first experimental results will be presented.
