Hardware Overview for the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland

The Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) is an under-construction ultra-high energy neutrino detector (>10PeV) that is composed of independent, autonomous, and low power stations featuring their own power, data acquisition, and communications systems. At the beginning of the summer of 2024, we have deployed 7 of 35 stations. The stations have been collecting data for the past three years. We present a broad overview of the current hardware and further show recent and upcoming upgrades to the DAQ and trigger firmware. These upgrades will improve operations, neutrino sensitives, and our ability to discriminate against cosmic ray background signals in future studies. Additionally, we present updates on supplementing power to the solar power with wind turbines that can help extend season livetime into the winter months.

Abstract

The Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) is an under-construction ultra-high energy neutrino detector (>10PeV) that is composed of independent, autonomous, and low power stations featuring their own power, data acquisition, and communications systems. At the beginning of the summer of 2024, we have deployed 7 of 35 stations. The stations have been collecting data for the past three years. We present a broad overview of the current hardware and further show recent and upcoming upgrades to the DAQ and trigger firmware. These upgrades will improve operations, neutrino sensitives, and our ability to discriminate against cosmic ray background signals in future studies. Additionally, we present updates on supplementing power to the solar power with wind turbines that can help extend season livetime into the winter months.
