SUMMARY:Constraining the Diffuse Flux of Ultra-High Energy Neutrinos w
 ith the Askaryan Radio Array’s Largest Analysis Ever\, Preliminary E
 xam\, Abigail Bishop\, Physics Graduate Student
DESCRIPTION:In the race to discover the first ultra-high energy neutri
 nos and zoom in on the ultra-high energy neutrino flux\, the Askaryan 
 Radio Array (ARA) is a frontrunner. Similar to the world renowned IceC
 ube Neutrino Observatory\, ARA deploys radio antennas in glaciers and 
 searches for the ultra-high energy Askaryan emission radiating from co
 smic neutrino interactions in the ice. Even though ARA can see neutrin
 o interactions in volumes far greater than IceCube\, the tremendously 
 low flux of ultra-high energy neutrinos makes them even rarer to obser
 ve than the mid-high energy neutrinos IceCube detects. ARA has been op
 erating for a decade and is composed of 5 separate stations\, but hist
 orically each analysis has analyzed only one or two stations over the 
 course of a few years. Presently\, our collaboration is building the f
 ramework for a full 5 Station Analysis over every year of ARA operatio
 n and I am on the ground level of this effort. I propose a thesis proj
 ect contributing to this leading edge\, comprehensive neutrino search\
 , performing an estimate of the diffuse neutrino flux considering ever
 y byte of ARA data\, with personal emphasis on searching for unique si
 gnal topologies that can allow us to confidently identify neutrino can
 didates in\, what used to be classified\, as noise.
