Detecting cosmic rays with the LOFAR radio telescope

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...
