The High Resolution Fly's eye detector, known as HiRes, is designed to detect the highest energy cosmic rays through their interaction with the earth's atmosphere. When a typical cosmic ray (proton, nucleus or gamma ray) enters the earth's atmosphere it initiates an air shower via nuclear or electromagnetic interactions. Protons of 1020 eV will typically penetrate less than about 100 g cm2 into the atmosphere before initiating an air shower. Nuclei and gamma rays are even less penetrating. By looking at the deeply penetrating showers we can search for ultra-high neutrino initiated interactions in the atmosphere. The neutrino aperture calculation for the HiRes detector is presented. A preliminary search for neutrino candidates is reported on.
