Abstract
The RESUN experiment used the very large array to search for cm-wavelength Cherenkov bursts from UHE neutrinos impacting the Moon. No pulses of lunar origin were detected during an observing campaign totaling 200
h. The RESUN null-detection implies an upper limit to the differential isotropic neutrino flux

. The isotropic flux upper limit is the lowest published for lunar searches and is inconsistent with extragalactic and halo Z burst models for neutrino generation.
