| Abstract: | At the present time, radio emission from extensive air showers (EASs) is being considered as a new promising method for detecting cosmic rays of energy in the region E 0 > 5 × 1016 eV. Radio emission from an EAS whose development is simulated by the Monte Carlo method is calculated here. The field of radio emission from an EAS is calculated on the basis of two representations of a shower: that as a set of individual particles and that as a continuous set of currents. The sensitivity of radio emission to EAS parameters in the frequency range 10–100 MHz is investigated. The results can be used to analyze experiments that being presently performed (CODALEMA and LOPES) and those that are being planned for the future. |
