Abstract: F01.00028 : The navigation suite of the balloon-borne neutrino detector PUEO

Collaboration:
PUEO
It is designed to detect Askaryan radio emission resulting from the interactions of ultrahigh energy (>1 EeV) neutrinos with the Antarctic ice sheet.
In order to accurately project events onto the continent for both reconstruction of incident neutrino geometry and background rejection, PUEO needs a high precision pointing system, with angular resolution of 0.05° in heading, pitch, and roll.
To achieve this during the course of a multiweek flight, PUEO will fly a suite of navigation instruments that rely on a variety of observables; this suite will include inertial navigation systems, a differential GNSS unit, sun sensors, star trackers, and a magnetometer.
These each come with their own benefits and considerations, and will be utilized both during flight for monitoring and post-processed during analysis and neutrino searches.
