# **INTRODUCTION**

The Radio Ice Cerenkov Experiment (RICE) seeks to measure Cerenkov
radiation from ultra-high energy neutrinos with radio antennas buried in
the ice at the South Pole. We detect the long-wavelength Cerenkov
radiation signal resulting from mostly electron neutrino-induced
showers. As the shower develops, atomic electrons in the target medium
are swept into the forward-moving shower resulting in a net charge on
the shower front. Such cascades produce broadband Cerenkov radiation for
wavelengths larger than the transverse dimensions of the shower front
that is coherent.[^1] The RICE collaboration was undertaken initially
based on predictions for measuring these neutrinos.[^2] The RICE
experiment presently consists of a 16-channel array of dipole radio
receivers scattered within a 200m×200m×200m cube that is situated
approximately 100-300m below the experimental station at the South
Pole.[^3]

A course of studies including accelerator testbeam runs has been
undertaken by the RICE testbeam group and others to characterize the
signals. A full Monte Carlo simulation has been undertaken. Initially
the effort has been focused on the signal strength due to the
electromagnetic shower evolution.[^4] Efforts to test the
electromagnetic shower evolution included: initial test beam studies
using the final focus area at SLAC,[^5] studies using a 15MeV beam at
ANL,[^6] and a first observation of the Askaryan effect by another
effort at SLAC.[^7] The last effort used picosecond pulses of GeV
bremsstrahlung photons into a 3.5 ton silica sand target. They measured
the polarization, coherence, timing, field strength vs. shower depth,
and field strength vs. frequency.

Currently no experiments have been conducted to measure radio emission
from hadronic induced showers although a previous Fermilab proposal was
accepted by the PAC.[^8] To order of magnitude, one expects that radio
emission from PeV hadronic showers and electromagnetic showers are
comparable, because almost all of the energy ends up at the "bottom" of
the energy distribution with charge imbalances that are "order unity".
Hadronic showers are sufficiently different from electromagnetic showers
that independent test should be done. The vast range of energies
involved in a UHE shower and the intrinsic complexity of strong
interactions make Monte Carlo estimates less reliable than corresponding
electromagnetic shower calculations. Indeed, calculations for RICE thus
far have conservatively omitted the hadronic contributions.

We have developed a test-beam proposal which can be used both for
hadronic or electromagnetic circumstances.[^9] This proposal takes into
account symmetries so that we can exploit an exact mathematical
calculation of the fields involved.[^10] A bench-top prototype exists at
the University of Kansas which has allowed us to tune our experimental
setup. This MOU covers the first phase of these experiments using a
similar small diameter (16 inches) aluminum tank. We will place two
small (1 inch) dipole antennas inside the 15 ft long tank and read them
out into an oscilloscope to characterize the signals found in the few
hundred MHz region. By examining the phase difference and time
variations between the signals of the two antennas, we can study the
behavior of the electromagnetic pulse both in air and if the tank is
filled with water. In order to guarantee enough shower development for
the signal, it might be necessary to place a lead absorber in front of
the tank.

This is a memorandum of understanding between the Fermi National
Accelerator Laboratory and experimenters from the RICE group who have
committed to participate in beam tests to be carried out during the
2002-2003 MTBF program. The memorandum is intended solely for the
purpose of providing a budget estimate and a work allocation for
Fermilab, the funding agencies and the participating institutions. It
reflects an arrangement that currently is satisfactory to the parties;
however, it is recognized and anticipated that changing circumstances of
the evolving research program will necessitate revisions. The parties
agree to negotiate amendments to this memorandum which will reflect such
required adjustments.

# **II. EXPERIMENTAL AREA, BEAMS AND SCHEDULE CONSIDERATIONS**

1.  Location:

    1.  The experiment is to take place in the MTEST beam line and
        located in the area designated MT6-B3. In addition, the main
        control room to the west of the MTEST line will be used to house
        electronics (mainly an oscilloscope with an ethernet
        connection).

2.2 Beam:

1.  We require protons at 3 energies: 120GeV, 100GeV, and 80GeV. We
    would also take runs with 30GeV pi+ and 30 GeV pi- beam tunes.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
2.  We require the maximum available intensity to the test areas, which
    is calculated to be 1MHz for the proton run. For the pi- and pi+
    runs we understand the maximum intensity is 50kHz.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
2.  Setup:

2.3.1 We will install a scintillator trigger, an optional lead absorber,
and the apparatus in the MT6-B3 area. The apparatus is a 16 inch
diameter aluminum tube of wall thickness ¾ inch that is 15 ft. Flanges
will be placed on either end of the tube so that the tube can be filled
with water. On the downstream end of the tube, there will be insertions
to allow us to take two RF cables out and position two dipole antennas
inside of the tube. The tube will have to be mounted so as to support
the approximately 2000 lbs when filled.

2.3.2 No significant space is needed for electronics near the beamline.
At least one rack and one desk are needed in a nearby counting room.

2.3.3 Cabling to the counting room is minimal. There will be the
scintillator trigger cable and then two RF shielded cables coming from
the downstream end of the aluminum tube.

2.4 Schedule:

2.4.1 We are requesting a few days of setup time and then a few runs to
accumulate around a few thousand events each. We expect that each run
will take several hours. The runs we would like include: beam on and
beam off with three different energy proton beams for empty tank and
filled tank and with several runs for both pi+ and pi- beams.

Let t0 be the start date of the 2002 fixed target test beam program.

t0 - 6 months design mounting structure and protrusions for aluminum
tube

make sure all students have proper Fermilab training

make a dry run to measure noise performance (assumed to take a few

days)

move aluminum tube into beamline area

t0 - Begin to commission

t~0~ + 1 week Complete first run period.

Goals: Shakeout of DAQ, detector alignment, system noise, etc

Run Plan: after commissioning of equipment is finished, will need about

2 days of intermittent data taking with beam to ensure that the

data are sensible, alignment is good and system noise is what

is anticipated. Then take a couple of days more of data

t0 + 1 month Analyze data to see whether more data taking is needed.

t0 + 2 months Start second run which may have detachable inner tube.

Goals: Run the tests as described in reference 9 with inner and outer

beam tubes

Run Plan: Same as above, except there are now twice as many runs due to
filling the inner and outer tubes separately.

# **Appendix II -- OFF-LINE ANALYSIS PLAN FOR THE 2002 RICE Beamtest**

[DATA PROJECTION]{.underline}

We will read data into our Tektronix scope with an ethernet connection
and onboard disk of 5 GBytes. Using two antennas and assuming that for
each antenna for each event we readout 8 Kbytes of data, we will take 32
Mbytes per configuration which could be transferred to computers for
analysis at the University of Kansas by ethernet from Fermilab or
downloaded from the onboard disk at the end of the experiment.

[ANALYSIS PLAN]{.underline}

All analysis will be done at the universities.
