128. GRAND: The Giant Radio Array for Neutrino Detection

Martineau-Huynh, Olivier

08/06/2022, 09:00

The Giant Radio Array for Neutrino detection (GRAND) is a proposed next-generation observatory of ultra-high-energy particles of cosmic origin: neutrinos, cosmic rays, and gamma-rays) at energies above 10^17eV. GRAND will consist of a network of ~20 large surface arrays of radio antennas (10000 km² each) deployed at favorable locations around the world, and scheduled to start operations ...

129. The Beamforming Elevated Array for COsmic Neutrinos (BEACON): A Radio Detector for Earth-Skimming Tau Neutrinos

Zeolla, Andrew

08/06/2022, 09:20

When ultrahigh energy tau neutrinos skim the Earth, they can generate tau leptons that then decay in the atmosphere, forming upgoing extensive air showers. The Beamforming Elevated Array for COsmic Neutrinos (BEACON) is a novel detector concept that utilizes a mountaintop radio interferometer to search for the radio emission due to these extensive air showers. The prototype, located at the...

111. Prospects for radio cosmic-ray measurements with SKA-Low

Corstanje, Arthur

Following the experience with LOFAR measurements, we explore some of the interesting possibilities that would be offered by the SKA-Low telescope.
The low-frequency part of the Square Kilometre Array, to be built in Australia, features an enormous antenna density of about 50,000 antennas in the inner core region of radius 500 m, with a frequency band from 50 to 350 MHz. This allows to resolve...

116. Cosmic-rays with LOFAR: Overview and Upgrades

Pandya, Hershal (Vrije Universiteit Brussel)

08/06/2022, 10:00

The LOFAR radio telescope measures the radio emission from extensive air showers generated by cosmic rays in the energy range of $10^{16}$ to $10^{18}$ eV. Measurements of the emission in the 30-80 MHz range allows for the reconstruction of the cosmic ray energy, arrival direction, and most importantly the shower maximum, Xmax, with an average precision below 20 g/cm$^2$. The detector consists...

139. Status and prospects of the Auger Radio Detector

Rautenberg, Julian (Bergische Universität Wuppertal)

08/06/2022, 10:20

To find and understand the sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays necessitates measuring the properties of these particles with high precision. The objective of the upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory is to increase, in particular, the mass sensitivity of the observatory, aiming at an event-by-event identification of the particle type with unprecedented precision. Part of this upgrade is...

123. Towards a Standard Definition of the Signal-to-Noise Ratio for Radio Signals of ultra-high-energy Particles

Schröder, Frank G. (Bartol Research Institute, Departement of Physics and Astronomy, University of Delaware; and Institute for Astroparticle Physics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)

08/06/2022, 10:40

Identifying and measuring radio signals of ultra-high-energy particles is a common challenge in all kind of astroparticle radio detectors, be it air-shower detection, the search for neutrino signals in the ice, or radio observatories looking for particle-induced radio pulses from the moon. Although the challenge is common, the community uses a large variety of definitions of the...
