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…

The shape of the radio wavefront of extensive air showers as measured with LOFAR

A. Corstanje, P. Schellart, A. Nelles +78

Extensive air showers, induced by high energy cosmic rays impinging on the Earth's atmosphere, produce radio emission that is measured with the LOFAR radio telescope. As the emissi…
