Weds AM I - Air Shower Detail
The detection of radio emission of air showers has rapidly advanced in the past years. New experiments have shed light on the details of the emission and air shower simulations provide rather accurate models of the measured emission. To exploit radio emission in large-scale experiments, a simple and analytic parametrization of the distribution of the radio signal at ground level is needed....

Weds AM I - Air Shower Detail
LOFAR is a multipurpose radio telescope which can be used for radio detection of cosmic rays while running astronomical observations at the same time. In the dense core individual air showers are detected by hundreds of dipole antennas. The raw electromagnetic waveform as detected by each antenna is stored in a five-second ring buffer, which is read out when a trigger is issued by the LORA...

Weds AM I - Air Shower Detail
The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) aims to detect extensive air showers caused by the interactions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays with the Earth atmosphere, providing complementary information to the Auger surface, fluorescence and muon detectors. The second stage of AERA, currently consisting of 124 radio stations, has been completed at the Pierre Auger Observatory in early 2013, ...

Weds AM I - Air Shower Detail
AERA, the Auger Engineering Radio Array, located at the Pierre Auger Observatory in Malargüe, Argentina measures the radio emission of extensive air showers in the 30-80 MHz frequency range. It consists of 124 antenna stations of which 24 are log periodic dipole antennas (LPDAs) and 100 are so-called butterfly antennas. Both antenna types measure two electric field components (North-South and...
