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…
Origins of Cosmic Rays in the Galactic-extragalactic Transition Energy Range
A. Corstanje, S. Saha, S. Bouma +28
Cosmic rays arrive at Earth with energies ranging from to over eV. One of the open questions in high-energy cosmic ray science concerns the origin of the highest-e…
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…
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…
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…
Analytic calculation of radio emission from parameterized extensive air showers, a tool to extract shower parameters
Olaf Scholten, Gia Trinh, Krijn D. de Vries +1
The radio intensity and polarization footprint of a cosmic-ray induced extensive air shower is determined by the time-dependent structure of the current distribution residing in th…
Analytic Calculation of Radio Emission from Extensive Air Showers subjected to Atmospheric Electric Fields
Olaf Scholten, Gia Trinh, Krijn D. de Vries +1
We have developed a code that semi-analytically calculates the radio footprint (intensity and polarization) of an extensive air shower subject to atmospheric electric fields. This…
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…
