Reconstruction of anomalous air showers with SKA-Low

Vital De Henau, Sjoerd Bouma, Justin Bray +31

Double-bump showers are a surprising class of extensive air showers (EAS) predicted by Monte Carlo simulations, which, so far, no experiment has been able to directly detect. They…

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…

Origins of Cosmic Rays in the Galactic-extragalactic Transition Energy Range

A. Corstanje, S. Saha, S. Bouma +28

Cosmic rays arrive at Earth with energies ranging from to over eV. One of the open questions in high-energy cosmic ray science concerns the origin of the highest-e…

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 exceeding…

A Bayesian Method for Air-Shower Reconstruction using Information Field Theory

Karen Terveer, Sjoerd Bouma, Stijn Buitink +12

The radio detection of extensive air showers provides a powerful method for studying the origin of high-energy cosmic rays. The Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) offers unprecedentedly d…
