Radio 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 کاملRadio-Emission from Cosmic Ray Air-Showers - A Theoretical Perspective for LOPES
High-energy cosmic ray air-showers have been known for over 30 years to emit strong radio pulses in the regime between a few and several 100 MHz (Allan 1971). To date, however, a thorough analysis of the emission mechanisms has not yet been conducted. Adopting a simplified shower geometry and electron-positron energy distribution, we calculate theoretical pulse spectra in the scheme of synchrot...
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...
متن کامل30TH 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 کاملSimulations of Radio Emission from Cosmic Ray Air Showers
Radio emission from cosmic ray air showers has the potential to become an additional, cost-effective observing technique for cosmic ray research, being largely complementary to the well-established particle detector and air fluorescence techniques. We present Monte Carlo simulatios of radio emission from extensive air showers in the scheme of coherent geosynchrotron radiation from electron-posi...
