Radio detection of cosmic ray air showers with LOPES

“…Also, as expected from theory, inclined air showers can be detected very well with the radio technique [17].…”

“…Inclined air showers distribution in zenith angle and geomagnetic angle [17]. Blue crosses: events fully reconstructed by KAS-CADE, green triangles: events only geometrically reconstructed by KASCADE, red rhombs: events detected in radio.…”

“…Also, nearly horizontal air showers can be induced by neutrino interactions in the atmosphere, making them a particularly interesting field of research. In [17] we have analysed a selection of air showers with zenith angles over 50 • , an angular range where flat particle detectors such as those of KASCADE become inefficient. The analysis has shown that (i) LOPES does detect very inclined air showers up to approx.…”

“…Results from the analysis of inclined air showers [17] are consistent with the predicted signal polarisation, but only dedicated dual-polarisation measurements as are currently being prepared with LOPES will answer these questions definitely. What is the absolute strength of the emission, and is it consistent with the values predicted by theory [10]?…”

“…Also, the fact that there is a pronounced correlation between the radio field strength and the geomagnetic angle indicates that a geomagnetic emission mechanism must be responsible for the dominant fraction of the emission [4,15,17].…”
