Scientific paper

Some cosmic ray nuclei have energies equivalent to that of a fast-moving tennis ball. Our Galaxy is too small to produce them, and as they travel through the Universe they loose energy in collisions with microwave background radiation. So where do they come from? The neutrinos hold the key. They are produced in these collisions but interact so weakly that huge detectors are needed. We propose to use the moon as our detector by looking for the coherent Cerenkov radio emission from neutrino induced cascades in lunar regolith (sandy surface layer). The neutrino interaction produces a nanosecond pulse peaking between 1-2GHz.
