The use of the Moon as a detector volume for ultra-high-energy neutrinos and
cosmic rays, by searching for the Askaryan radio pulse produced when they
interact in the lunar regolith, has been attempted by a range of projects over
the past two decades. In this contribution, I discuss some of the technical
considerations relevant to these experiments, and their consequent sensitivity
to ultra-high-energy particles. I also discuss some possible future
experiments, and highlight their potential.Comment: To be published in the Proceedings of the ARENA2016 conference,
