| Abstract: | The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) is an extension of the
Pierre Auger Observatory. It is used to detect radio emission
from extensive air showers in the 30 - 80 MHz frequency band.
A focus of interest is the dependence of the radio emission on
shower parameters such as the energy and the atmospheric depth
of the shower maximum. After three phases of deployment, AERA
now consists of 153 autonomous radio stations with different
spacings, covering an area of about 17 km2. The size, station
spacings, and geographic location at the same site or near other
Auger extensions, are all targeted at cosmic ray energies above
10[sup]17 eV. The array allows us to explore different
technical schemes to measure the radio emission as well as to
cross calibrate our measurements with the established baseline
detectors of the Auger Observatory. We present the most recent
technological developments and selected experimental results
obtained with AERA. |
