1303.2172 (Konstantin Belov for the ANITA collaboration)

Towards Determining the energy of the UHECRs observed by the ANITA detector    [PDF]

Konstantin Belov for the ANITA collaboration
The Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) is a balloon-borne radio experiment designed to discover ultra-high energy cosmic neutrinos. The ANITA detector has completed one prototype and two full-scale flights above the Antarctic continent. Two direct and fourteen reflected cosmic ray events of ultra-high energy were observed during the first full scale flight and several others in the second flight. We present a Monte Carlo technique and analysis developed to determine the energy of the primary cosmic ray particles from the ANITA data.
