DOE Pulse is distributed every two weeks. Experimenters are certainly inventive. Give them a sandbox and pretty soon they want the moon. Dipole antennas were buried in the sand and microwave antennas were mounted along one side of the sandbox. The technique and the results should help in the observation of energetic neutrino showers using the moon as an emitter.
Neutrinos are difficult particles to detect.
They have a very small mass, no charge and only weak interactions. Like photons, neutrinos travel in fairly straight lines from their source to the point of detection. In addition, the neutrino will go through almost anything, hardly noticing that something is in their way. So to detect and observe neutrinos requires emitters and detectors with lots of material. Enter the moon, nature's own emitter with lots of material.
