Abstract:
Ultra-high energy neutrino astronomy is a rapidly emerging field at the
crossroads of particle physics, astronomy and astrophysics. This talk
will outline the motivation for ultra-high energy neutrino astronomy and
discuss the radio detection mechanism. The ANITA project will be
described and the latest results of searches for neutrinos and up-going
cosmic ray air showers will be presented. Some of the interesting
theoretical speculation that has followed the detection of anomalous
events by ANITA will be discussed.
