Radio detection of cosmic rays: present and future

Abstract

Digital radio detection of cosmic rays has made tremendous progress over the past decade. It has become increasingly clear where the potential --- but also the limitations --- of the technique lie. In this article, we discuss roads that could be followed in future radio detection efforts and try to evaluate the associated prospects and challenges.
