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…
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…
