Air Shower Measurements with LOFAR
, 903
"... Air showers from cosmic rays emit short, intense radio pulses. LOFAR is a new radio telescope, that is being built in the Netherlands and Europe. Designed primarily as a radio interferometer, the core of LOFAR will have a high density of radio antennas, which will be extremely well calibrated. This ..."

Detecting Radio Pulses from Air Showers
"... Abstract—Cosmic rays are energetic particles from outside the earth’s atmosphere. When a high energy cosmic ray hits the atmosphere it triggers a cascade of secondary particles produced in nuclear interactions, an air shower. Up to now the established methods of measuring air showers are detection o ..."

of the particles that reach the ground level or optical observation of the Cherenkov or fluorescent light. The measurement of radio pulses from air showers has a number of advantages: It gives a much higher duty cycle than measuring optical light, it measures the whole shower evolution thus being complementary
Cosmic rays Extensive air showers Radio detection

"... a b s t r a c t The measurement of the radio emission from extensive air showers, induced by high-energy cosmic rays, is one of the key science projects of the LOFAR radio telescope. The LOfar Radboud air shower Array (LORA) has been installed in the core of LOFAR in the Netherlands. The main purpos ..."

Radio Pulse Emission in Air Showers and Dense Media
, 2005
"... The different radio frequency (RF) pulse generating physics processes will be explored with the primary distinction between the air shower emission and the Askaryan emission in dense materials. During the 1960s and 1970s, Cosmic Ray physics saw a flurry of activity surrounding the radio emission of ..."

of air showers. These kinds of experiments eventually ended because of difficulties in measuring signals and interpreting results. Interest in radio detection has been renewed in part due to the Askaryan effect, which predicted that the radio signal becomes dominant for showers in dense, radio
Detecting Radio Emission from Air Showers with LOFAR
"... LOFAR (the Low Frequency Array) is the largest ra-dio telescope in the world for observing low frequency radio emission from 10 to 240 MHz. In addition to its use as an interferometric array, LOFAR is now routinely used to detect cosmic ray induced air show-ers by their radio emission. The LOFAR cor ..."

core in the Netherlands has a higher density of antennas than any dedicated cosmic ray experiment in radio. On an area of 12 km2 more than 2300 antennas are in-stalled. They measure the radio emission from air showers with unprecedented precision and, therefore, give the perfect opportunity
