Description

Abstract: Different type of mechanisms are involved in generation and propagation of radio signals from cosmic ray air showers. The geomagnetic origin is one of such mechanisms which is very important especially in low frequency band studies. Based on CORSIKA and CoREAS we investigate the influence of earth magnetic field parameter on filtered peak radio amplitude patterns in 32–64 MHz frequency band using a specifically designed computer code. Simulated showers are from Proton and Iron primary particles with 10^17 eV initial energy. It is found that radio signal patterns are heavily dependent on the Earth magnetic field values so that they change fundamentally as we go from southern to northern hemisphere. We have chosen Pierre Auger Observatory in South and Tehran in North hemisphere for comparison purposes. Analyzing these patterns can clearly show the importance and influence of the Earth magnetic field parameter on the radio signal patterns from cosmic ray air showers.
