Acoustic signatures of ultra-high-energy neutrinos

Detecting ultra-high-energy neutrinos has been a long-standing goal of astroparticle physics at the energy frontier. Radio and acoustic detection techniques have been investigated, with radio being the prevalent strategy for the last decade or two. The acoustic detection of neutrinos has faced significant challenges due to necessary array technologies, data filtering algorithms, and simulation tools. New technology and computing means, however, could be the foundation to re-open this window into the high-energy universe in the future. In this contribution, we present a first step in this direction, with preliminary work on simulating acoustic neutrino signatures with the CORSIKA 8 simulation framework.
