The Giant Radio Array for Neutrino Detection (GRAND) Project
GRAND is designed to detect ultra-high-energy cosmic particles -- specially neutrinos, cosmic rays and gamma rays using radio antennas. With $\sim$20 mountainous sites around the world it will cover a total area of 200,000 km$^{2}$. The planned sensitivity of 10$^{-10}$ GeV cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ sr...

| Summary: | GRAND is designed to detect ultra-high-energy cosmic particles -- specially
neutrinos, cosmic rays and gamma rays using radio antennas. With $\sim$20
mountainous sites around the world it will cover a total area of 200,000
km$^{2}$. The planned sensitivity of 10$^{-10}$ GeV cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$
sr$^{-1}$ above $5\times10^{17}$ eV will likely ensure the detection of
cosmogenic neutrinos predicted by most common scenarios enabling neutrino
astronomy. Furthermore, PeV--EeV neutrinos can test particle interactions at
energies above those achieved in accelerators. The pathfinder stage
GRANDProto300 is planned to start taking data in 2021. We present the current
overall status of the project with emphasis on the neutrino physics. |
