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…

The initial stage of cloud lightning imaged in high-resolution

O. Scholten, B. M. Hare, J. Dwyer +21

With LOFAR we have been able to image the development of lightning flashes with meter-scale accuracy and unprecedented detail. We discuss the primary steps behind our most recent l…

Radio emission from negative lightning leader steps reveals inner meter-scale structure

B. M. Hare, O. Scholten, J. Dwyer +19

We use the Low Frequency ARray (LOFAR) to probe the dynamics of the stepping process of negatively-charged plasma channels (negative leaders) in a lightning discharge. We observe t…

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…
