Impact of biaxial birefringence in polar ice at radio frequencies on signal polarizations in ultrahigh energy neutrino detection

A Connolly - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
It is known that polar ice is birefringent and that this can have implications for in-ice radio
detection of ultrahigh energy neutrinos. Previous investigations of the effects of birefringence …
