Chasing cosmic particles with radio antennas in Greenland's ice

(Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY) In Greenland's ice sheet, a set-up unlike any other in the world will in future be listening for extremely elusive particles from space. The Radio Neutrino Observatory Greenland (RNO-G) is a pioneering project that relies on a new method of detecting very high-energy cosmic neutrinos using radio antennas. The scientists involved in the project have now installed the first antenna stations in the ice at the Summit Station research facility.
