The Giant Radio Array for Neutrino Detection (GRAND) Project

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2022-02-04 v2

Abstract

GRAND is designed to detect ultra-high-energy cosmic particles -- specially neutrinos, cosmic rays and gamma rays using radio antennas. With \sim20 mountainous sites around the world it will cover a total area of 200,000 km2^{2}. The planned sensitivity of 1010^{-10} GeV cm2^{-2} s1^{-1} sr1^{-1} above 5×10175\times10^{17} eV will likely ensure the detection of cosmogenic neutrinos predicted by most common scenarios enabling neutrino astronomy. Furthermore, PeV--EeV neutrinos can test particle interactions at energies above those achieved in accelerators. The pathfinder stage GRANDProto300 is planned to start taking data in 2021. We present the current overall status of the project with emphasis on the neutrino physics.
