Description
We found microwave reflection from a small rock salt samples irradiated by X-ray. The
reflection rate was consistent with number of ionized electrons by the irradiation.
Coherent reflection was indicated by time dependence of the reflection rate. It means
the irradiated size could be scaled up to ultra-high energy electromagnetic shower
using longer wavelength while the reflection rate is kept. Information from antennae
would be utilized to 3D reconstruction of the electromagnetic shower like as a radio
bubble chamber. Pulse radar emission power could be as large as MW then radio wave
can travel 10 attenuation length (2-3km) to be detected. The construction cost could
be reduced much if the radar method is applicable, since number of boreholes can be
reduced in which detection antennae are installed.
