Investigating double bump air showers with the SKA-Low
V. De Henau, S. Bouma, J. Bray +30
Double-bump showers are a rare class of extensive air showers (EAS) predicted by Monte Carlo simulations. They occur when a high-energy secondary particle, the leading particle, tr…
Reconstructing Air Shower Parameters with MGMR3D
P. Mitra, O. Scholten, T. N. G. Trinh +16
Measuring the radio emission from cosmic ray particle cascades has proven to be a very efficient method to determine their properties such as the mass composition. Efficient modeli…
Determining Atmospheric Electric Fields using MGMR3D
T. N. G. Trinh, O. Scholten, S. Buitink +4
Cosmic-ray particles impinging on the atmosphere induce high-energy particle cascades in air, an Extensive Air Shower (EAS), emitting coherent radio emission. This emission is affe…
Reconstructing air shower parameters with LOFAR using event specific GDAS atmospheres
P. Mitra, A. Bonardi, A. Corstanje +15
The limited knowledge of atmospheric parameters like humidity, pressure, temperature, and the index of refraction has been one of the important systematic uncertainties in reconstr…
On the cosmic-ray energy scale of the LOFAR radio telescope
K. Mulrey, S. Buitink, A. Corstanje +14
Cosmic rays are routinely measured at LOFAR, both with a dense array of antennas and with the LOFAR Radboud air shower Array (LORA) which is an array of plastic scintillators. In t…
Contributions of the LOFAR Cosmic Ray Key Science Project to the 36th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC 2019)
A. Bonardi, S. Buitink, A. Corstanje +15
This is a collection of papers that have been contributed by the LOFAR Cosmic Ray Key Science Project (CRKSP) to the 36th International Cosmic Ray Conference held in Madison, Wisco…
Cosmic Ray Physics with the LOFAR Radio Telescope
T Winchen, A Bonardi, S Buitink +14
The LOFAR radio telescope is able to measure the radio emission from cosmic ray induced air showers with hundreds of individual antennas. This allows for precision testing of the e…
Status of the Lunar Detection Mode for Cosmic Particles of LOFAR
T. Winchen, A. Bonardi, S. Buitink +14
Cosmic particles hitting Earth's moon produce radio emission via the Askaryan effect. If the resulting radio ns-pulse can be detected by radio telescopes, this technique potentiall…

The effect of the atmospheric refractive index on the radio signal of extensive air showers
A. Corstanje, A. Bonardi, S. Buitink +13
For the interpretation of measurements of radio emission from extensive air showers, an important systematic uncertainty arises from natural variations of the atmospheric refractiv…
A large light-mass component of cosmic rays at 10^{17} - 10^{17.5} eV from radio observations
S. Buitink, A. Corstanje, H. Falcke +101
Cosmic rays are the highest energy particles found in nature. Measurements of the mass composition of cosmic rays between 10^{17} eV and 10^{18} eV are essential to understand whet…
Probing Atmospheric Electric Fields in Thunderstorms through Radio Emission from Cosmic-Ray-Induced Air Showers
P. Schellart, T. N. G. Trinh, S. Buitink +71
We present measurements of radio emission from cosmic ray air showers that took place during thunderstorms. The intensity and polarization patterns of these air showers are radical…
The radio emission pattern of air showers as measured with LOFAR - a tool for the reconstruction of the energy and the shower maximum
A. Nelles, S. Buitink, A. Corstanje +10
The pattern of the radio emission of air showers is finely sampled with the Low-Frequency ARray (LOFAR). A set of 382 measured air showers is used to test a fast, analytic paramete…
Polarized radio emission from extensive air showers measured with LOFAR
P. Schellart, S. Buitink, A. Corstanje +10
We present LOFAR measurements of radio emission from extensive air showers. We find that this emission is strongly polarized, with a median degree of polarization of nearly ,…
