| Résumé : | In 2013 the IceCube collaboration announced the discovery of a cosmic neutrino flux up to PeVenergies, validating neutrino astronomy as the next promising observational technique to explorethe high-energy Universe. The neutrino community is moving forward with the construction ofnew facilities to enhance the detection of these elusive particles at higher energies (up to andbeyond EeV) and to increase the statistics at the high-energy end of the IceCube neutrino flux.Future large volume neutrino detectors, using both the radio Askaryan and the optical Cherenkovsignal, will open the possibility of hybrid detection of neutrino interactions within the polar ice.In this contribution we present a first calculation of the expected number of events for a simpli-fied geometry of one radio station located at 200 m depth in the vicinity of a∼10 km3in-iceCherenkov detector, similar to the planned IceCube-Gen2 neutrino observatory. Preliminary sim-ulations show that a total event rate of∼1 event/year is achievable for a 10-stations array assum-ing that the Askaryan radio detectors can lower their energy threshold down to∼PeV energies.Such a possibility is currently under study for the future radio extension foreseen as one of thesurface components of IceCube-Gen2. |
