Radio detection of cosmic rays with the Auger Engineering Radio Array
Published 13 May 2019 in astro-ph.IM | (1905.04986v1)
Abstract: The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) complements the Pierre Auger Observatory with 150 radio-antenna stations measuring in the frequency range from 30 to 80 MHz. With an instrumented area of 17 km$2$, the array constitutes the largest cosmic-ray radio detector built to date, allowing us to do multi-hybrid measurements of cosmic rays in the energy range of 10${17}$ eV up to several 10${18}$ eV. We give an overview of AERA results and discuss the significance of radio detection for the validation of the energy scale of cosmic-ray detectors as well as for mass-composition measurements.
