Scientific paper

The RICE detector is an array of radio antennas deployed in the ice at the geographic South Pole. The array is tuned to detect Ultra High Energy neutrinos (Ev > 1015eV) using the radio Cerenkov technique. An Ultra High Energy neutrino interacting in Antarctic ice produces a electron which carries away about eighty percent of the neutrino's energy. The electron will initiate an electromagnetic cascade which develops a net negative charge as atomic electrons are knocked out. Each charged track emits Cerenkov radiation which is coherent at radio wavelengths. We describe the general concept of radio detection and details of the RICE experiment.
