Observation of Radar Echoes from High-Energy Particle Cascades
Physical review letters(2020)
摘要
We report the observation of radar echoes from the ionization trails of high-energy particle cascades. Data were taken at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, where the full electron beam (similar to 10(9) e(-) at similar to 10 GeV/e(-)) was directed into a plastic target to simulate an ultrahigh-energy neutrino interaction. The target was interrogated with radio waves, and coherent radio reflections from the cascades were detected with properties consistent with theoretical expectations. This is the first definitive observation of radar echoes from high-energy particle cascades, which may lead to a viable neutrino detection technology for energies greater than or similar to 10(16) eV.
