Plans for a new array of radio antennas for the detection of air showers at the 433m surface-detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory

Stef Verpoest, Frank Schroeder, Alexander Novikov +6

We present the design and science case for a new array of radio antennas to be located at the Pierre Auger Observatory. Six stations of three SKALA antennas each will be deployed a…

Studying the mass sensitivity of air-shower observables using simulated cosmic rays

Benjamin Flaggs, Alan Coleman, Frank G. Schröder

Using CORSIKA simulations, we investigate the mass sensitivity of cosmic-ray air-shower observables for sites at the South Pole and Malargüe, Argentina, the respective locations o…
