Tues AM I - Air Shower Main Experiment
Over the past decade, radio detection of cosmic rays has matured from
small-scale prototype experiments to installations spanning several
km^2 with more than a hundred antennas. The physics of the radio
signal is well understood and simulations and measurements are in good
agreement. We have learned how to extract important cosmic ray
parameters such as the geometry of the air shower and...

Tues AM I - Air Shower Main Experiment
CODALEMA is the last experiment currently running in Europe dedicated to the extensive air shower detection using the observation of its induced radio electric field and with the ambition to promote this radio detection technique to a mature technology suited to a next generation giant cosmic ray observatory. The latest experimental upgrade of CODALEMA consisting in a large array of autonomous...

Tues AM I - Air Shower Main Experiment
High-energy cosmic rays impinging onto the atmosphere of the Earth initiate cascades of secondary particles: extensive air showers. The electrons and positrons in air showers interact with the geomagnetic field and emit radiation, which we record in the tens-of-MHz regime. The LOFAR radio telescope measures the radio emission with high antenna density and two polarization directions. We used...

Tues AM I - Air Shower Main Experiment
The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) at the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentinia is constructed in multiple stages starting in 2010. The current stage consists of 124 dual-polarized radio detector stations covering an area of 6 km^2. One of the main goals is to study the radio emission process for energies beyond 10^{17} eV in the range from 30-80 MHz. Having the unique opportunity for...
