White Paper: ARIANNA-200 high energy neutrino telescope

Understand

The proposed ARIANNA-200 neutrino detector, located at sea-level on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica, consists of 200 autonomous and independent detector stations separated by 1 kilometer in a uniform triangular mesh, and serves as a pathfinder mission for the future IceCube-Gen2 project.

• The primary science mission of ARIANNA-200 is to search for sources of neutrinos with energies greater than 10^17 eV, complementing the reach of IceCube.
• An ARIANNA observation of a neutrino source would provide strong insight into the enigmatic sources of cosmic rays.
• ARIANNA observes the radio emission from high energy neutrino interactions in the Antarctic ice.
