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: 10.1134/s1063784218110154
Abstract: Cherenkov emission of extensive air showers (EAS) from cosmic gamma rays and cosmic-ray protons has been modelled. Spectral density of such emission in the 240–700 nm band has been determined for 3 GeV–10 TeV primaries… read more here.
