30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Radio Detection of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays
The radio technique for the detection of cosmic particles has seen a major revival in recent years. New and planned experiments in the lab and the field, such as GLUE, Anita, LUNASKA, Codalema, LOPES as well as sophisticated Monte Carlo experiments have produced a wealth of new information and I review here briefly some of the main results with the main focus on air showers. Radio emission of u...
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...
متن کاملDetecting Radio Emission from Cosmic Ray Air Showers and Neutrinos with a Digital Radio Telescope
We discuss the possibilities of measuring ultra-high energy cosmic rays and neutrinos with radio techniques. We review a few of the properties of radio emission from cosmic ray air showers and show how these properties can be explained by coherent “geosynchrotron” emission from electron-positron pairs in the shower as they move through the geomagnetic field. This should allow one to use the rad...
متن کاملAmplitude calibration of a digital radio antenna array for measuring cosmic ray air showers
Radio pulses are emitted during the development of air showers, where air showers are generated by ultra-high energy cosmic rays entering the Earth’s atmosphere. These nanosecond short pulses are presently investigated by various experiments for the purpose of using them as a new detection technique for cosmic particles. For an array of 30 digital radio antennas (LOPES experiment) an absolute a...
متن کاملResults from the KASCADE, KASCADE-Grande, and LOPES experiments
The origin of high-energy cosmic rays in the energy range from 10 to 10 eV is explored with the KASCADE and KASCADE-Grande experiments. Radio signals from air showers are measured with the LOPES experiment. An overview on results is given.
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Trigger Strategy for Radio Detection of Atmospheric Air Showers with LOPES
In the framework of LOPES (LOFAR PrototypE Station), a Self-Triggered Array of Radio detectors (STAR) is developed. The challenge of LOPES is to provide an independent self-trigger on radio emission of extensive air showers with primary energies above 5 · 10 eV. Measurements are done with an external trigger and self-trigger in radio loud and quiet areas. Based on these data the self-trigger is...
