Abstract
Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), those with energies above 1018 eV, have been observed colliding with matter in the Earth's atmosphere by a variety of experiments since the 1960's. These particles are among the highest observed locally on earth, with energies many orders of magnitude higher than those produced in terrestrial accelerators. Due to the extreme energies of these rare particles, much study has been poured into determining their cosmic source accelerators, a search which continues today. This dissertation explores the third ight of the ANtarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) telescope payload in the 2014-2015 Antarctic season, which has a unique opportunity for novel observations of UHE particles. It covers the theory, payload, detector calibration, signal simulation, and presents results of a search for UHECRs and UHE s with the third ANITA ight.
