Detector-level simulation closure of radio air-shower reconstruction with native RF-chain inversion and out-of-fold endpoint interpolation
Xin Xu, Pengfei Zhang, Fufu Yang +2
Autonomous radio arrays reconstruct air showers from trigger-selected digitized voltage traces rather than ideal electric-field footprints. We present a detector-level simulation-c…
Anomalous Air Showers and What They Reveal About Hadronic Interactions and Cosmic-ray Masses
Stijn Buitink, Vital De Henau, Sjoerd Bouma +28
The identification of the sources and acceleration mechanisms of cosmic rays require precise measurements of their mass composition. Currently, the most reliable method is to measu…
Measuring High-Energy Cosmic Particles with the SKA
Tim Huege, Katharine Mulrey, Sjoerd Bouma +28
The origin of high-energy cosmic rays remain one of astrophysics' greatest unsolved mysteries. SKA-Low will be able to measure air showers initiated by cosmic rays with unprecedent…
Interferometric Analysis of Air-shower Radio Emission in the Near Field with an Information Field Theory Approach
Keito Watanabe, Karen Terveer, Sjoerd Bouma +29
Current reconstruction techniques for air-shower radio emission generated by cosmic rays have shown great success, having been applied to several radio detectors over the last deca…
Using SKA-Low to Detect PeV Gamma-rays from Galactic Sources
Anna Nelles, Philipp Laub, Haoning He +28
Detecting so called PeVatrons is considered one of the prime goals of -ray astronomy. PeVatrons are astrophysical objects in the Galaxy that are sources of cosmic rays exceedin…
FARSim: a fast RF-chain-aware trigger-screening surrogate for radio detection of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays
Xin Xu, Pengfei Zhang, Fufu Yang +3
Radio arrays provide a scalable route to detecting extensive air showers from ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, but trigger studies for candidate layouts are expensive when every ener…
