Reconstruction performance using RNO-G — •Sjoerd Bouma for the RNO-G Collaboration collaboration — Erlangen Centre for Astroparticle Physics (ECAP), Erwin-Rommel-Str. 1, D-91058 Erlangen

RNO-G is an in-ice radio detector in Greenland which aims to detect Extremely High Energy (EHE) neutrinos through the Askaryan effect. Deployment started in Summer 2021, with the first 3 out of a planned 35 detector stations now built and taking data. As the first production-scale in-ice radio neutrino detector, RNO-G both complements as well as helps to inform the design of the planned radio extension of IceCube-Gen2.

One important aspect of RNO-G and potential future radio neutrino detectors, aside from their effective volume, is the ability to reconstruct the properties of detected (neutrino-induced) radio shower signals. An accurate reconstruction of the neutrino direction is crucial in order to identify potential sources of EHE neutrinos. We will present a brief overview of the current state of reconstruction performance using algorithms developed for the open-source NuRadioMC software package by the RNO-G collaboration, and provide an outlook for future improvements.
