The JEM-EUSO observatory on board of the International Space Station (ISS) is a proposed pioneering space mission devoted to the investigation of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHE…
Mass sensitivity in the radio lateral distribution function
W. D. Apel, J. C. Arteaga, L. Bähren +56
Measuring the mass composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays is one of the main tasks in the cosmic rays field. Here we are exploring the composition signature in the coherent e…
LOPES-3D, an antenna array for full signal detection of air-shower radio emission
W. D. Apel, J. C. Arteaga, L. Bähren +56
To better understand the radio signal emitted by extensive air-showers and to further develop the radio detection technique of high-energy cosmic rays, the LOPES experiment was rec…
Experimental evidence for the sensitivity of the air-shower radio signal to the longitudinal shower development
W. D. Apel, J. C. Arteaga, L. Bähren +56
We observe a correlation between the slope of radio lateral distributions, and the mean muon pseudorapidity of 59 individual cosmic-ray-air-shower events. The radio lateral distrib…
The next-generation liquid-scintillator neutrino observatory LENA
Michael Wurm, John F. Beacom, Leonid B. Bezrukov +74
We propose the liquid-scintillator detector LENA (Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy) as a next-generation neutrino observatory on the scale of 50 kt. The outstanding successes of the B…
On noise treatment in radio measurements of cosmic ray air showers
F. G. Schröder, W. D. Apel, J. C. Arteaga +58
Precise measurements of the radio emission by cosmic ray air showers require an adequate treatment of noise. Unlike to usual experiments in particle physics, where noise always add…
