Description

Abstract: There are many discussions about the best possible type of air showers to radio detections. Two types of air showers are under considerations, Vertical and Inclined. In this study based on CORSIKA and CoREAS simulations, we are going to investigate the best type of aforementioned air showers especially for experimental purposes. We compare raw radio pulses and filtered peak radio amplitude patterns of different electrical field components in the 32 to 64 MHz frequency band using a specifically designed computer code for a series of vertical and inclined air showers initiating from proton primary particle with 10^17 eV initial energy. It is found that despite having smaller values in a very specific distance from shower core, the inclined air showers provide more expanded and consistent peak radio amplitudes throughout the entire radio detection area which is very important in real experiments. From vertical to 15°, 30°, 45° and 60° zenith angles we investigate a variety of different effective shower properties on radio signals from raw radio pulses to emerging patterns.
