Description
After 10 years of efforts, important progress have been made in the field of radio-detection of extensive air showers in the MHz range. The geomagnetic contribution has been proven to be dominant. A secondary process in the shower (probably related to the excess of charges in the shower) has also been detected. The correlation between the detected electric field and the nature and energy of the primary cosmic ray is on the way to be established through both simulation and data. I will present the main experiments in this field and review their main results.
