What is new in NuRadioMC: Multilayer Analytic Raytracer
Hannes Warnhofer, Sjoerd Bouma, Vital De Henau +14
NuRadioMC is a framework for the simulation of ultra-high-energy neutrino detectors that measure the radio signal emitted in neutrino-induced particle cascades used in different ra…
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…
Beyond : Reconstructing Air Shower Profiles with Information Field Theory with SKA-Low
Keito Watanabe, Tim Huege, Torsten Enßlin +33
While radio measurements of extensive air showers have shown to achieve a high precision of sensitivity, it has been shown that parameters beyond …
Unveiling the Mysteries of Lightning: Exploring its fundamental Physical Processes with SKA-LOW
Brian M Hare, Sjoerd Bouma, Stijn Buitink +15
Lightning is a surprisingly poorly understood phenomena. It consists of a wide variety of complex processes such as initiation, propagation, connection to ground, even emission of…
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…
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…
