  1. 4. Technological developments for the Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA)
    Mrs Jennifer Maller (Subatech)

    Weds AM II - Air Shower Detail
    The Auger Engineering Radio Array consists of 124 radio stations covering 6 km² installed within the low energy extension of the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina; this location allows a multi-hybrid measurement of air-showers with the fluorescence telescopes, the water-Cherenkov and the muon detectors close to the radio array. AERA detects the radio emission from cosmic-ray induced air...

    Weds AM II - Air Shower Detail
    Radio pulses associated with Extended Air Showers (EAS) produced in terrestrial atmosphere by High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) of energy 10^17 eV and above, are now routinely observed by dedicated radio instruments on ground. This may offer a new and appealing way for elucidating the nature and origin of involved primary particles, an open question still unsolved. Unfortunately, the high...

  3. 13. New developments around the Butterfly antenna
    Mr Didier CHARRIER (SUBATECH-UMR6457)

    Weds AM II - Air Shower Detail
    The Butterfly antenna is a compact, active and dual polarization antenna specifically developed for the radio detection of extensive air showers in the 20-200MHz frequency range. Butterfly antennas are in operations at Nançay for the CODALEMA experiment since october 2008, and at Auger for the AERA experiment since may 2013. The overall characteristics of an active antenna are given by the...

  4. 21. LOPES-3D – studies on the benefits of direct measurements with vertically aligned antennas
    Mr Daniel Huber (KIT), Dr Tim Huege (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)

    Weds AM II - Air Shower Detail
    The LOPES experiment was a radio interferometer built at the existing air shower array KASCADE-Grande in Karlsruhe, Germany. The last configuration of LOPES was called LOPES-3D and consisted of ten tripole antennas. Each of these antennas consisted of three crossed dipoles east-west, north-south and vertically aligned. With this, LOPES-3D had the unique possibility to study the benefits of...

  5. 36. Introducing TAXI: A Transportable Array for eXtremely large area Instrumentation studies
    Timo Karg (DESY)

    Weds AM II - Air Shower Detail
    A challenge that is common to many experiments in high-energy astroparticle physics is the need for sparse instrumentation in areas of 100 km2 and above, often in remote and harsh environments. All these arrays have similar requirements for read-out and communication, power generation and distribution, and synchronization. Within the TAXI project we are developing a transportable, modular...
