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…
Cosmic ray detection with the LOFAR radio telescope
K. Terveer, S. Bouma, S. Buitink +15
The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) has successfully measured cosmic rays for over a decade now. With its dense core of antenna fields in the Netherlands, it is an ideal tool for study…
