Air Data Analysis & Tools 1

Inclined air showers open the window for the radio detection of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays with km-sparse radio-antenna arrays. The potential of those measurements would improve greatly with an accurate reconstruction of the depth of the shower maximum $X_\mathrm{max}$. However, traditional methods using the lateral signal amplitude distribution at the ground to reconstruct $X_\mathrm{max}$...
To probe the sources of ultra-high energy cosmic-rays, next generation of radio experiments such as GRAND and AugerPrime Radio are now focusing on the detection of showers arriving with very inclined trajectories. These inclined showers have a large footprint that allows us to cover large surfaces at low costs, but their radio emission exhibits numerous features that differentiate them from...
We present a signal- and reconstruction model for the radio emission of extensive air showers with zenith angles between 65$^\circ$ and 85$^\circ$ in the 30-80 MHz band. The model is derived from CoREAS simulations and explicitly takes into account the asymmetries introduced by the superposition of charge-excess and geomagnetic radiation as well as by early-late effects. We exploit...
