DOI: 10.1088/1748-0221/12/02/p02006
Abstract: Atmospheric conditions, such as the pressure (P), temperature (T) or air density (rho proportional to P/T), affect the development of extended air showers initiated by energetic cosmic rays. We study the impact of the atmospheric… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.107.083004
Abstract: In extensive air showers induced by ultra-high energy (UHE) cosmic rays, secondary particles are produced with energies far above those accessible by other means. These extreme energies can be used to search for new physics.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.95.083004
Abstract: We observe a large fraction of circular polarization in radio emission from extensive air showers recorded during thunderstorms, much higher than in the emission from air showers measured during fair-weather circumstances. We show that the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.98.022002
Abstract: One of the uncertainties in the interpretation of ultrahigh energy cosmic ray data comes from the hadronic interaction models used for air shower Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The number of muons observed at the ground… read more here.
