Description
The Radio Ice Cherenkov Experiment is an ultra-high energy neutrino detector at the South Pole. In this contribution we motivate the search for ultra-high energy neutrinos by considering the astrophysical objects which are expected to emit neutrinos. We describe the philosophy behind using radio receivers to detect the Cherenkov radiation produced when ultra-high energy neutrinos interact in a dense medium and outline the analysis path for obtaining limits on the ultra-high energy neutrino flux
