Performance, Simulation and Flux Limits from the RICE Detector
The RICE experiment (Radio Ice Cherenkov Experiment) at the South
Pole, co-located with the AMANDA experiment, aims to detect ultra-
high energy electron neutrinos interacting in cold Polar ice. Such
interactions produce electromagnetic showers, which emit coherent,
radio-frequency Cherenkov radiation. We describe the experimental
apparatus and procedures used to measure the neutrino flux, and we
report upper limits on the ultra-high energy, electron neutrino flux
based on analysis of the August, 2000 data.
