Calibrating the absolute amplitude scale for air showers measured at LOFAR

A. Nelles, J. R. Hörandel, T. Karskens +74

Air showers induced by cosmic rays create nanosecond pulses detectable at radio frequencies. These pulses have been measured successfully in the past few years at the LOw Frequency…

Measuring a Cherenkov ring in the radio emission from air showers at 110-190 MHz with LOFAR

A. Nelles, P. Schellart, S. Buitink +66

Measuring radio emission from air showers offers a novel way to determine properties of the primary cosmic rays such as their mass and energy. Theory predicts that relativistic tim…
