Abstract
The detection of extraterrestrial EHE neutrinos requires detection
volumes at least one order of magnitude larger than currently constructed
km3 optical neutrino detectors. In ice, it is anticipated that the
absorption length for acoustic waves reaches up to to several kilometers.
This makes ice an attractive host environment for a next generation
acoustic neutrino detector. To measure the acoustic properties of
ice at South Pole, a test setup has been developed, ready to be deployed
in the 2006/07 summer season.
