The influence of the atmospheric refractive index on radio Xmax measurements of air showers

The influence of the atmospheric refractive index on radio Xmax measurements of air showers

The refractive index of the atmosphere, which is n ≈ 1:0003 at sea level, varies with altitude and with local temperature, pressure and humidity. When performing radio measurements of air showers, natural variations in n will change the radio lateral intensity distribution, by changing the Cherenkov...
