Search for microwave emission from ultrahigh energy cosmic rays
arXiv:1205.5785 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.86.051104
Abstract
We present a search for microwave emission from air showers induced by ultrahigh energy cosmic rays with the microwave detection of air showers experiment. No events were found, ruling out a wide range of power flux and coherence of the putative emission, including those suggested by recent laboratory measurements.
