- We show that LOFAR can be used as a lightning mapping array with a resolution that is orders of magnitude better than existing arrays. In addition the polarization of the radiation can be used to track the direction of the stepping discharges. © 2017 The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.

Precision study of radio emission from air showers at LOFAR
- 2017

In: RICAP16, 6TH ROMA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS. - : EDP Sciences.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Radio detection as well as modeling of cosmic rays has made enormous progress in the past years. We show this by using the subtle circular polarization of the radio pulse from air showers measured in fair weather conditions and the intensity of radio emission from an air shower under thunderstorm conditions.

Overview and status of the lunar detection of cosmic particles with LOFAR

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- When a cosmic particle hits matter it produces radio emission via the Askaryan effect. This allows to use Earth's moon as detector for cosmic particles by searching for these ns-pulses with radio telescopes. This technique potentially increases the available collective area by several orders of magnitude compared to current experiments. The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) is the largest radio telescope operating in the optimum frequency regime for corresponding searches. In this contribution, we report on the design and status of the implementation of the lunar detection mode at LOFAR. © Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).
