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…
Using SKA-Low to Detect PeV Gamma-rays from Galactic Sources
Anna Nelles, Philipp Laub, Haoning He +28
Detecting so called PeVatrons is considered one of the prime goals of -ray astronomy. PeVatrons are astrophysical objects in the Galaxy that are sources of cosmic rays exceeding…
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…
Cosmic ray detection with the LOFAR radio telescope
K. Terveer, S. Bouma, S. Buitink +15
The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) has successfully measured cosmic rays for over a decade now. With its dense core of antenna fields in the Netherlands, it is an ideal tool for study…
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…
Constraining the cosmic-ray mass composition by measuring the shower length with SKA
S. Buitink, A. Corstanje, J. Bhavani +17
The current generation of air shower radio arrays has demonstrated that the atmospheric depth of the shower maximum Xmax can be reconstructed with high accuracy. These experiments…
Prospects for measuring the longitudinal particle distribution of cosmic-ray air showers with SKA
A. Corstanje, S. Buitink, J. Bhavani +17
We explore the possibilities of measuring the longitudinal profile of individual air showers beyond when using very dense radio arrays such as SKA. The low-frequency…
Depth of shower maximum and mass composition of cosmic rays from 50 PeV to 2 EeV measured with the LOFAR radio telescope
A. Corstanje, S. Buitink, H. Falcke +14
We present an updated cosmic-ray mass composition analysis in the energy range to eV from 334 air showers measured with the LOFAR radio telescope, and selec…
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…
