Radar reflection off extensive air showers
J. Stasielak, S. Baur, M. Bertaina +24
We investigate the possibility of detecting extensive air showers by the radar technique. Considering a bistatic radar system and different shower geometries, we simulate reflectio…
Extensive Air Showers and Ultra High-Energy Cosmic Rays: A Historical Review
Karl-Heinz Kampert, Alan A. Watson
The discovery of extensive air showers by Rossi, Schmeiser, Bothe, Kolhörster and Auger at the end of the 1930s, facilitated by the coincidence technique of Bothe and Rossi, led to…
Highlights from the Pierre Auger Observatory
Karl-Heinz Kampert
This paper summarizes some highlights from the Pierre Auger Observatory that were presented at the ICRC 2011 in Beijing. The cumulative exposure has grown by more than 60% since th…
The spectrum of high-energy cosmic rays measured with KASCADE-Grande
Grande Collaboration, W. D. Apel, J. C. Arteaga-Velazquez +58
The energy spectrum of cosmic rays between 10**16 eV and 10**18 eV, derived from measurements of the shower size (total number of charged particles) and the total muon number of ex…
CRPropa 2.0 -- a Public Framework for Propagating High Energy Nuclei, Secondary Gamma Rays and Neutrinos
Karl-Heinz Kampert, Jörg Kulbartz, Luca Maccione +4
Version 2.0 of CRPropa is public software to model the extra-galactic propagation of ultra-high energy nuclei of atomic number Z<26 through structured magnetic fields and ambient p…
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…
