Scientific paper

A muon from an ultra-high energy neutrino interaction produces an electromagnetic shower of considerable length. Coherent Cerenkov emission at microwave frequencies from the electric-charge imbalance developing in such a shower serves as an efficient signal of the event. The detection of upward-going UHE neutrinos is discussed in the Antarctic ice by detecting this microwave signal with comparatively cheap and simple antennas located on the ice surface. A pilot experiment to measure UHE neutrinos from point sources such as Cygnus X-3 is feasible.
