On the Possibility of Radio Astronomy Aided Recording of Extensive Air Showers

Abstract

The possibility of recording extensive air showers with a specifically phased array operating around 50 MHz has been considered. The estimated spectral energy flux of a radio signal from cosmic particles with energies >10¹⁵ eV shows the antenna-load signal magnitude for this range of energies to be much more exceeding the root-mean-square amplitude of cosmic noise for the range of 48ё50 MHz. The capacities of radio detecting extensive air showers are also discussed.
