Photons in astroparticle physics
Oral presentation
The recent detection of ultra-high energy neutrinos has provided new impetus for similar experiments seeking measurement of neutrinos, photons and other cosmic rays at the highest energy regime. We will discuss recent attempts to measure the GZK neutrino flux via radio techniques, and prospects and plans for the future.

Photons in astroparticle physics
Oral presentation
The Telescope Array (TA) experiment aims at studying the nature and origin of Ultra-high Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) with energies up to around 10^20 eV. It is located in Utah, USA, and is composed of a ground array of 507 scintillator detectors covering 700 square kilometers and three air fluorescence telescope stations overlooking the array from the periphery. Here I present the recent...

Photons in astroparticle physics
Oral presentation
The Telescope Array Radar (TARA) Remote Station is a novel, autonomous, radio-based detector for Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR). Our bi-static radar approach utilizes the ionized core of an UHECR shower as a reflector for a continuous wave (cw) signal. By analyzing this reflected signal, we can reconstruct the UHECR event. Our detection scheme allows for the coverage of a very large...
