ANITA (Experiment)

ANITA (ANtarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna) is a scientific experiment designed to detect high-energy neutrinos from cosmic sources, which are elusive subatomic particles. Conducted in Antarctica, ANITA uses a series of antennas to pick up radio waves generated when neutrinos interact with the ice. By studying these signals, researchers aim to learn more about cosmic events such as supernovae and black hole formations. The extreme environment of Antarctica allows for a clearer detection of these rare events, helping scientists understand fundamental processes in the universe.
