Description

The exploration of GZK neutrinos through their interactions with matter via produced radio signals requires highly homogeneous material with small attenuation for radio frequencies. Rock salt in some salt dome formations provide dielectric material with great potential to host a large scale (100 km3) water-equivalent ultra-high energy neutrino detector The Hawaii Askaryan in Salt Radio Array (HASRA) detector was built as a testbed for exploration of coherent radio Cherenkov emission in salt from interaction of cosmic ray induced cascades. We report results of 1 year of measurements of Askaryan effect with HASRA detector. Peformance of the detector its sensitivity and analysis of a newest data set will be presented
