Analytic Calculation of Radio Emission from Extensive Air Showers subjected to Atmospheric Electric Fields

Analytic Calculation of Radio Emission from Extensive Air Showers subjected to Atmospheric Electric Fields

We have developed a code that semi-analytically calculates the radio footprint (intensity and polarization) of an extensive air shower subject to atmospheric electric fields. This can be used to reconstruct the height dependence of atmospheric electric field from the measured radio footprint. The va...
