Detecting cosmic rays with the LOFAR radio telescope

The low frequency array (LOFAR), is the first radio telescope designed with the capability to measure radio emission from cosmic-ray induced air showers in parallel with interferometric observations. In the first 2 years of observing, 405 cosmic-ray events in the energy range of 1016??1018 eV have...
