Data analysis techniques for UHE acoustic astronomy

Using acoustic techniques, it is hoped that a new type of telescope can be developed to search for ultra high energy (UHE) (>1020eV) neutrinos. Using an eight hydrophone array, ACoRNE is investigating the practicality of such an acoustic telescope. This paper will report on the progress of this investigation, focusing on the data analysis techniques developed. The sensitivity of the Rona array will be presented, and a limit placed on the flux of UHE neutrinos.
