Abstract

LOPES - LOFAR PrototypE Station (LOFAR - LOw Frequency ARray) is an array of dipole antennas used for the detection of radio emission from cosmic ray air showers. It is co-located and triggered by the KASCADE (KArlsruhe Shower Core and Array Detector) experiment, which also provides information about air shower properties like electron number N_e, muon number N_ν, azimuth and zenith angle. LOPES-10 (the first phase of LOPES, consisting of 10 antennas) detected a significant number of cosmic ray air showers with a zenith angle larger than 50°, and many of those have very high field strengths. The most inclined event that has been detected with LOPES-10 has a zenith angle of almost 80°. This is important, because cosmic ray air showers with large inclinations, triggered close to the ground, would be a signature of neutrino events. Due to the small baseline of the LOPES-10 detector, it is not yet possible to determine accuratelly the radius of curvature of the showers front, which is related to the distance to the maximum of shower development. However, this should be possible in the future with a large baseline radio telescope like LOFAR.
