abstract = "We present the Radar Echo Telescope for Neutrinos (RET-N). RET-N focuses on the detection of the cosmic neutrino flux at >PeV energies by means of the radar detection technique. This method aims to bridge the energy gap between the diffuse neutrino flux detected by IceCube up to a few PeV and the sought for cosmogenic neutrinos at EeV energies by the in-ice Askaryan detectors, as well as the air shower radio detectors. The radar echo method is based on the detection of the ionization trail in the wake of a high-energy neutrino-induced particle cascade in ice. This technique, recently validated in a beam test (T576 at SLAC) is also the basis for the RET-N pathfinder experiment, RET-CR, which is currently under development. Based on the T-576 results, we show that the radar echo method leads to very promising sensitivities to detect cosmic neutrinos in the PeV-EeV region and above. We present the RET-N project and the results of our sensitivity studies.",
