1
Things that go bump in the sea T. Sloan (Lancaster University) Neutrino interactions (>10 20 eV) Axions (sadly Cotton-Mouton term) Primordial black holes Any other unexpected phenomenon.
3
Expected pulse shapes Backgrounds give a train of osillations.
5
Limits from array using 4 fold coincidence of hydrophones (from Simon Bevan UCL Thesis)
6
Increase sensitivity - give up coincidence requirement Increases the solid angle coverage since showers detectable outside the plane of the array. More noise – ask for bigger pulses
7
Raw spectrum of peak amplitudes APPLY CUTS Final spectrum for 2 weeks of data. Analyse all 245 days of data selecting triggers with peak pressure above 0.4 Pa.
8
Examine all data (245 days) 81 events survive with peak pressure above 0.4 Pa. Each scanned visually to look for bipolar pulses. Most of them are multiple oscillations.
13
Conclusions 2 events (inverted probably background). No neutrinos (limit 5 orders of magnitude above W-B). Sensible limits need very large targets e.g. moon or polar ice cap (ANITA). No axions No primordial blackholes. No other unexpected phenomena.
