The PI proposes to search for radio signals resulting from neutrino initiated particle showers from the moon. The signals would be detected by the NASA DSN radio telescope instrumented with appropriate receivers. The detector volume capable of initiating such showers would exceed 10,000 km3. NASA would provide 120 hours of telescope time free of charge. This proposal is being support for two years to prove the degree of usefulness of this technique for detecting ultra high-energy cosmic rays.

PI计划搜索来自月球的中微子粒子阵雨产生的无线电信号。这些信号将由配备适当接收器的NASA深空网络射电望远镜探测到。能够引发这种阵雨的探测器体积将超过10,000立方千米。NASA将免费提供120小时的望远镜使用时间。这项提议已经得到了两年的支持，以证明这项技术在探测超高能量宇宙射线方面的有用程度。
