The National Science Foundation Division of Physics awarded the University of Maryland, College Park $100,000 on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop simulations and data pipelines for the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G). The award funds development of custom simulation modules and Level 2 processing tools supporting RNO-G data analysis and detector characterization. On the simulation side, the work incorporates station-specific geometry, calibrated detector response, and models of Askaryan emission, neutrino interactions, and radio propagation through glacial ice. The data pipeline work develops reconstruction tools that compute source localization, signal-to-noise characterization, and other quantities from calibrated detector readout. RNO-G is a radio-instrumented array deployed at Summit Station in Greenland, designed to detect Askaryan radio emission from ultra-high-energy neutrino interactions in polar ice at energies above 10 PeV. These tools enable the collaboration to analyze detector data, understand instrument performance, and support the development of early-career scientists in high-energy astrophysics. Work is performed at College Park, Maryland, with a period of performance from August 15, 2026 through July 31, 2027. This is a project grant, the standard assistance type for NSF research awards to academic institutions.
