Abstract

The Radar Echo Telescope for Cosmic Rays (RET-CR), a pathfinder instrument for the radar echo method of ultrahigh energy (UHE) neutrino detection, was initially deployed near Summit Station, Greenland, in May 2023. After a 4 week commissioning period, 9 days of data were taken before the instrument went offline. In this article, we describe the instrument as it was deployed, and the initial performance of the detector. We show that the technical aspects of running a radar based particle cascade detector in the ice have been demonstrated. Analysis of the 2023 data informed improvements that were incorporated into the May-August 2024 deployment, which has just concluded at time of writing. Results from the 2024 run will be presented in forthcoming publications.

宇宙射线雷达回波望远镜（RET-CR）的初步性能

宇宙射线雷达回波望远镜（RET-CR）是超高能（UHE）中微子探测雷达回波法的探路仪器，于 2023 年 5 月首次部署在格陵兰高峰站附近。经过 4 周的调试，仪器在下线前采集了 9 天的数据。在这篇文章中，我们介绍了仪器的部署情况以及探测器的初始性能。我们展示了在冰层中运行基于雷达的粒子级联探测器的技术方面。对 2023 年数据的分析为 2024 年 5 月至 8 月的部署提供了改进信息，在撰写本报告时，部署刚刚结束。2024 年的运行结果将在即将出版的刊物中介绍。
