Things that go bump in the sea
T. Sloan (Lancaster University)
• Neutrino interactions (>1020 eV)
• Axions (sadly Cotton-Mouton term)
• Primordial black holes
• Any other unexpected phenomenon.

Expected pulse shapes
Backgrounds give a train of osillations.

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

Raw spectrum of peak amplitudes
APPLY CUTS
Final spectrum for 2 weeks of data.
Analyse all 245 days of data selecting triggers with peak pressureabove 0.4 Pa.

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.

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.
