We investigate the acoustic detection method of 10^18-20 eV neutrinos in a Mediterranean Sea environment. The acoustic signal is re-evaluated according to dedicated cascade simulations and a complex phase dependant absorption model, and…
This article focuses on signal classification for deep-sea acoustic neutrino detection. In the deep sea, the background of transient signals is very diverse. Approaches like matched filtering are not sufficient to distinguish between…
The NEMO (NEutrino Mediterranean Observatory) Collaboration installed, 25 km E offshore the port of Catania (Sicily) at 2000 m depth, an underwater laboratory to perform long-term tests of prototypes and new technologies for an underwater…
Attempts have been made to parameterise the thermoacoustic emission of particle cascades induced by EeV neutrinos interacting in the sea. Understanding the characteristic radiation from such an event allows us to predict the pressure pulse…
Arrays of acoustic receivers are an integral part of present and potential future Cherenkov neutrino telescopes in the deep sea. They measure the positions of individual detector elements which vary with time as an effect of undersea…
To study the acoustic properties of the Antarctic ice the South Pole Acoustic Test Setup (SPATS) was installed in the upper part of drill holes for the IceCube neutrino observatory. An important parameter for the design of a future acoustic…

A possible detection of ultra-high-energy neutrinos has been attempted since decades through the Askarian radiation and different observation techniques. In fact, when such energetic neutrinos interact in a medium are able to produce a…

The acoustic neutrino detection technique is a promising approach for future large-scale detectors with the aim of measuring the small expected flux of neutrinos at energies in the EeV-range and above. The technique is based on the…
An attractive technique to explore for super-high-energy cosmic neutrino fluxes, via deep underwater acoustic detection, is discussed. Acoustic signals emitted by the neutrino induced cascades at large distances (10-50 km) from cascades are…
We investigate the possibility of searching for ultra high energy neutrinos in cosmic rays using acoustic techniques in ocean water. The type of information provided by the acoustic detection is complementary to that of other techniques,…
This thesis investigates the detection of ultra high energy (E > 1 EeV) cosmic neutrinos using acoustic sensors immersed in water. The method is based on the thermoacoustic model describing the production of microsecond bipolar acoustic…
The detection of acoustic signals from ultra-high energy neutrino interactions is a promising method to measure the tiny flux of cosmogenic neutrinos expected on Earth. The energy threshold for this process depends strongly on the absolute…
The emission of neutrinos within a wide energy range is predicted from very-high-energy phenomena in the Universe. Even the current or next-generation Cherenkov neutrino telescopes might be too small to detect the faint fluxes expected for…
Position calibration in the deep sea is typically done by means of acoustic multilateration using three or more acoustic emitters installed at known positions. Rather than using hydrophones as receivers that are exposed to the ambient…
The existence of cosmic accelerators able to emit charged particles up to EeV energies has been confirmed by the observations made in the last years by experiments such as Auger and Telescope Array. The interaction of such energetic…
The use of conventional neutrino telescope methods and technology for detecting neutrinos with energies above 1 EeV from astrophysical sources would be prohibitively expensive and may turn out to be technically not feasible. Acoustic…
An existing array of underwater, large-bandwidth acoustic sensors has been used to study the detection of ultra-high-energy neutrinos in cosmic rays. Acoustic data from a subset of 7 hydrophones located at a depth of $\sim 1600$ m have been…
This paper presents the development and characterization of a fiber laser hydrophone designed for deep-sea applications, with a focus on detecting neutrino interactions via their acoustic signatures. The hydrophone design includes a static…
