Calibrating antenna orientations using the Galaxy with RNO-G

The Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) aims to detect ultra high energy neutrinos (E > 100 PeV).With an array of upward-facing near-surface antennas operating in the 80-700 MHz range, the RNO-G surface component is sensitive to broadband signals originating from many sources, such as background noise induced by the Milky Way. In this contribution, we use the measured Galactic noise to enhance/improve our understanding of the detector, particularly its application in calibrating the antenna orientation.

Abstract

The Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) aims to detect ultra high energy neutrinos (E > 100 PeV).With an array of upward-facing near-surface antennas operating in the 80-700 MHz range, the RNO-G surface component is sensitive to broadband signals originating from many sources, such as background noise induced by the Milky Way. In this contribution, we use the measured Galactic noise to enhance/improve our understanding of the detector, particularly its application in calibrating the antenna orientation.
