Funded Activity Summary

LUNASKA, a theoretical and experimental project for UHE neutrino astrophysics using a giant radio observatory. There will be an increase in Australian visibility in the high energy astrophysics community and stronger links between and within the fields of radio astronomy and high energy astrophysics in Australia, and internationally. This project will enhance Australian participation in the international Square Kilometre Array. By making observations using the Australia Telescope we may discover the first UHE neutrino - this would have huge impact and prestige for Australia. The technology developed resulting from this project will contribute to Australia's IT base. Hosting an international workshop will benefit national prestige and economy.
