Trinity: An Air-Shower Imaging Instrument to detect Ultrahigh Energy Neutrinos

Understand

Trinity is a proposed air-shower imaging system optimized for the detection of earth-skimming ultrahigh energy tau neutrinos with energies between $10^7$ GeV and $10^{10}$ GeV.

• Trinity will pursue three major scientific objectives.
• 1) It will narrow in on possible source classes responsible for the astrophysical neutrino flux measured by IceCube.
• 2) It will help find the sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECR) and understand the composition of UHECR.
