摘要：

We explore the feasibility of using the Moon as a detector of extremely high energy (> 10(19) eV) cosmic rays arid neutrinos. The idea is to use the existing radiotelescopes on Earth to look for short pulses of Cherenkov radiation in the GHz range emitted by showers induced just below the surface of the Moon when cosmic rays or neutrinos strike it. We estimate the energy threshold of the technique and the effective aperture arid volume of tile Moon for this detection. We apply our calculation to obtain tile expected event rates from the observed cosmic ray flux and several representative theoretical neutrino fluxes.
