The radiation emitted by atmospheric showers is currently interpreted in terms of the deviation of the charged particles in the magnetic field of the Earth and the emission due to the charge excess (Askary'an effect). Each of these mechanisms has a distinctive polarization. The complex signal patterns obtained both in dedicated experiments measuring average behaviors and in simulations, can be...

Monday PM II - Emission Modeling & Experiment
We investigated the radio wavefront of cosmic-ray air showers with LOPES measurements and CoREAS simulations: the wavefront is of hyperbolic shape and can be used to reconstruct the shower maximum.
LOPES was a digital, interferometric antenna array at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) at an altitude of 110 m. LOPES consisted of up to 30 antennas on an area with approximately 200 m...

Monday PM II - Emission Modeling & Experiment
The recent detection of radio pulses with the ANITA experiment has revealed characteristic signatures of geomagnetic emission and has been attributed to coherent radio flashes from air showers that get reflected on the ice cap. In spite of recent progress in simulating and understanding radio pulses from air showers, no detailed studies are available to date to address the impact of the...

Monday PM II - Emission Modeling & Experiment
For radio antenna neutrino and cosmic ray detectors located in or above the Antarctic ice sheet, the reconstruction of both ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrino and cosmic ray air shower events requires knowledge the transmission and reflection properties of the air-ice interface. To better understand these properties, in-lab and field data will be obtained and analyzed. The in-lab experiment will...
