Scientific paper

The signal strength, bandwidth, and detection range of acoustic pulses generated by cosmic ray air showers striking a water surface are calculated. It is suggested that the signals could be detected by hydrophones, since the signals are strong enough to be heard by a submerged swimmer. If the cosmic ray signals could be distinguished from background noise, the underwater acoustic devices could determine the presence or absence of very-high-energy cosmic ray particles.
