113. Simulating radio emission from air showers with CORSIKA 8

Karastathis, Nikolaos

6/9/22, 11:45 AM

CORSIKA 8 (C8) is a new framework for air shower simulations implemented
in modern C++17, based on past experience with existing codes like
CORSIKA 7. It is a project structured in a modular and flexible way that allows
the inclusion and development of independent modules that can produce a
fully customizable air shower simulation. The calculation of radio emission
from the simulated...

134. Practical and Accurate Calculations of Radio Emission from Extensive Air Showers

Carvalho Jr., Washington

6/9/22, 12:05 PM

We present a novel semi-analytical treatment of the radio emission of air showers that is able to reproduce the results of full ZHAireS simulations, in theory at a fraction of the computational cost. Traditionally, the contribution to the vector potential of every single particle track in the shower is calculated separately. Instead, in our approach we divide the air shower into 4-D spacetime...

126. Template synthesis approach for radio emission from extensive air showers

Desmet, Mitja

6/9/22, 12:20 PM

The study of high-energy cosmic-ray air showers relies on Monte-Carlo techniques to simulate the particles and corresponding radio emission. These microscopic simulations require a lot of computing time, which not only limits our analyses but also negatively impacts the environment. Other techniques exist, using macroscopic quantities instead, but these currently lack the required precision.

89. Air-Shower Radio Simulations - where we stand and where we go

Huege, Tim

6/9/22, 12:40 PM

Simulations of the radio emission from extensive air showers have been key in establishing radio detection as a mature and competitive technique. In particular, microscopic Monte Carlo simulations have proven to very accurately describe the emission physics and are at the heart of practically all analysis approaches. Yet with new applications - for example very inclined air showers,...
