High-Fidelity Simulations of the Full Askaryan Radio Array and its Sensitivity to Ultra-High Energy Neutrinos
The Askaryan Radio Array (ARA) is a five-station, in-ice radio detector located at the South Pole searching for particle cascades from cosmogenic and astrophysical neutrinos with $\geq10^{17}$ eV of energy. Cascades in this energy regime emit radio-wavelength Askaryan radiation that can be observed by one or more ARA stations. With the recent KM3Net observation of an approximately $220$ PeV neutrino, there is renewed, urgent interest in further unlocking the ultra-high energy neutrino sky. We p…

Lower Bounds for $k$-Set Agreement in Fault-Prone Networks
We develop a new lower bound for k-set agreement in synchronous message-passing systems connected by an arbitrary directed communication network, where up to t processes may crash. Our result thus generalizes the t/k+1 lower bound for complete networks in the t-resilient model by Chaudhuri, Herlihy, Lynch, and Tuttle [JACM'00]. Moreover, it generalizes two lower bounds for oblivious algorithms in synchronous systems connected by an arbitrary undirected communication network known to the process…
