For comparison, predictions for strongly coupled string moduli (maroon band) [132] are also shown along with upper limits from ANITA I-IV (blue line) [158] and Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT; red line with tan band) [165] and a projected sensitivity for LORD (green band) [166].

“…The right panel of Figure 21 provides all-flavor sensitivity curves for POEMMA to UHE neutrinos using the fluorescence technique for cross sections taken from [164] and [151]. For comparison, Figure 21 right includes current upper limits from ANITA I-IV [158] and WSRT [165], sensitivity projections for the future Lunar Orbital Detector (LORD) [166], and a range of modeled neutrino fluxes resulting from models of strongly coupled moduli in a string theory background with Gµ ∼ 10 −20 , where G is Newton's constant and µ the string tension [132]. The POEMMA sensitivity curves were calculated assuming observations in the POEMMA-Stereo configuration with a 10% duty cycle and 5 years of observation time.…”

The Probe Of Extreme Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (POEMMA) mission is being designed to establish charged-particle astronomy with ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) and to observe cosmogenic tau neutrinos (CTNs). The study of UHECRs and CTNs from space will yield orders-of-magnitude increase in statistics of observed UHECRs at the highest energies, and the observation of the cosmogenic flux of neutrinos for a range of UHECR models. These observations should solve the long-standing puzzle of the origin of the highest energy particles ever observed, providing a new window onto the most energetic environments and events in the Universe, while studying particle interactions well beyond accelerator energies. The discovery of CTNs will help solve the puzzle of the origin of UHECRs and begin a new field of Astroparticle Physics with the study of neutrino properties at ultra-high energies.

Astrophysical neutrinos are excellent probes of astroparticle physics and high-energy physics. With energies far beyond solar, supernovae, atmospheric, and accelerator neutrinos, high-energy and ultrahigh-energy neutrinos probe fundamental physics from the TeV scale to the EeV scale and beyond. They are sensitive to physics both within and beyond the Standard Model through their production mechanisms and in their propagation over cosmological distances. They carry unique information about their extreme non-thermal sources by giving insight into regions that are opaque to electromagnetic radiation. This white paper describes the opportunities astrophysical neutrino observations offer for astrophysics and high-energy physics, today and in coming years.Fully opening the HE and UHE neutrino windows requires a multi-pronged approach that explores a broad range of proposed experimental techniques. With upcoming neutrino telescopes, the goal is to improve the sensitivity ten-fold in the HE range and hundred-fold in the UHE range. In the HE range, we are moving into the high-statistics era, where subtle features may be resolved and multiple sources may be discovered. In the UHE range, neutrino flux predictions and physics tests are well-motivated, but we will likely need new techniques to enable discoveries. The ongoing efforts to develop new instruments will improve sensitivity, increase statistics, and expand the energy range. A broad range of experimental approaches, with complementary capabilities, must be developed and tested in the coming decades. Because it is not clear which techniques will prevail, we advocate for a broad portfolio of experiments in the HE and UHE neutrino sector. Owing to their potential, HE and UHE neutrinos should be at the forefront of the high-energy physics program, as they push the boundaries for the neutrino, cosmic, energy, theory, and instrumentation frontiers. 4 Experimental landscape 32 4.1 Overview 32 4.2 High-energy range 35 4.3 Ultra-High Energy Range (> 100-PeV) 45

“…Orbital Low Frequency ARray (OLFAR ) (Bentum et al, 2009) and Lunar Orbiter Radio Detector (LORD) (Gusev et al, 2006), (Raybov et al, 2016) are examples of planned Lunar Orbiter Observations of UHECRv events. We analyze the UHE-CRv detections from different altitudes and compare the expected results with results of simulations of UHECv events from a tripole antenna at 100 MHz onboard lunar orbiter satellites (Stål, 2007).…”

Radio detection of Ultra High Energetic Cosmic Rays and Neutrinos (UHECRv) which hit the Moon has been investigated in recent years. In preparation for near-future lunar science missions, we discuss technical requirements for radio experiments onboard lunar orbiters or on a lunar lander. We also develop an analysis of UHECRv aperture by including UHECv events occurring in the sub-layers of lunar regolith. It is verified that even using a single antenna onboard lunar orbiters or a few meters above the Moon's surface, dozens of lunar UHECRv events are detectable for one-year of observation at energy levels of 10 18 eV to 10 23 eV. Furthermore, it is shown that an antenna 3 meters above the Moon's surface could detect lower energy lunar UHECR events at the level of 10 15 eV to 10 18 eV which might not be detectable from lunar orbiters or ground-based observations.
