SUMMARY:Acoustic Detection of Ultra-high Energy Neutrinos\, NPAC (Nucl
 ear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Naoko Kurahashi\, Stanford
DESCRIPTION:Study of Acoustic Ultra-high energy Neutrino Detection (SA
 UND) phase II uses 1000km^2 of ocean as a neutrino detector. SAUND<br>
 <br>
\naims to detect comic ray neutrinos of GZK energies and beyond<b
 r><br>
\n(&gt\;10^18eV) acoustically by utilizing the ocean water as t
 he target and an existing US Navy underwater microphone array as senso
 rs. A DAQ system was developed and deployed in 2005. The experiment ra
 n during 2006 and 2007\, collecting over 1 TB of data with over 100 da
 ys of cumulative livetime. A study of the ocean ambient noise was perf
 ormed using SAUND data\, characterising the background for neutrino si
 gnals. Data analysis to isolate signals is performed in parallel to Mo
 nte Carlo studies of the detector to optimize cut efficiencies and  se
 t a neutrino flux limit in the ultra-high energy region.
