Abstract content

For a long time radio emission accompanying extensive air showers (EAS) is considered as an alternative to traditional methods of high energy cosmic ray detection (> 10^17 eV). In this paper, results of simulations of radio signals from air showers with energy greater than 10^17 eV are reported. The simulations are based on a track-by-track radio emission calculation using the EGSnrc Monte Carlo shower code. The lateral distribution of the predicted radio emission pattern is compatible with the recent LOPES-10 experimental data at distances < 300 m. Perspectives of extending the EAS radio emission calculation to ultra-high energy (up to 10^20 eV) are also discussed.
