Description
The Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) is situated at Summit Station and is intended to detect Askaryan emission from ultra-high energy neutrinos above 10 PeV. The detector is proposed to have 35 stations of which 7 have been installed so far. Each station consists of 3 strings carrying dipole antennas embedded down to 100 meters in ice. These antennas capture the horizontal and vertical polarization of the Askaryan signal and work in conjunction with shallow antennas. The detector is designed to trigger on impulsive radio signals from neutrino-nucleon interactions in the ice. This talk will overview the RNO-G instrument, including the overall station architecture, the antenna designs and performance, and the triggering and readout systems, which are all designed to lower thresholds and enhance sensitivity to neutrinos.
