Status and first results of Tunka-Rex, an experiment for the radio detection of air showers
Tunka-Rex is a new radio detector for extensive air showers from cosmic rays, built in 2012 as an extension to Tunka133. The latter is a non-imaging air-Cherenkov detector, located near Lake Baikal, Siberia. With its 25 radio antennas, Tunka-Rex extends over an area of 1 km2 with a spacing of 200 m and therefore is expected to be sensitive to an primary energy range of approximately 1017-1018 e...
متن کاملThe Tunka Radio Extension (Tunka-Rex): Status and First Results
Tunka-Rex is a new radio antenna array which extends the Tunka experiment in Siberia close to lake Baikal. It consists of 20 antennas on an area of 1km2 which measure the radio emission of high-energy air showers. Tunka-Rex is triggered by the photomultiplier array of Tunka measuring air-Cherenkov light of air showers in the energy range from about 1016 eV to 1018 eV. This configuration allows ...
متن کاملGravity effects in inclined air showers induced by cosmic neutrinos
The Randall-Sundrum model with a small curvature is considered in which five-dimensional Planck scale lies in the TeV region, and a spectrum of Kaluza-Klein gravitons reminds that in one flat extra dimension. The cross sections for interactions of ultra-high energy cosmic neutrinos with nucleons are calculated. It is shown that effects related with massive graviton excitations can be detected i...
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Muon spectra reconstructed from inclined air showers measured by KASCADE- Grande
Inclined air showers (i.e. showers with zenith angle above 40 degrees) are registered by the KASCADE-Grande experiment, which is designed to address fundamental questions about the origin, composition and acceleration mechanisms of primary cosmic rays between 10 and 10 eV. Despite the aggravate reconstruction due to the thin scintillation detectors used in KASCADE-Grande these inclined events a...
متن کاملRadio emission of highly inclined cosmic ray air showers measured with LOPES
Aims. The capability of radio antenna arrays to measure cosmic ray air showers with very large zenith angles is explored. This is important, since a possible neutrino detection has to fulfill two requirements. First: antennas should be able to detect very inclined cosmic ray air showers, and second: it should be possible to estimate the distance to the shower maximum, since neutrinos are most l...
