Emission of Radio Waves in Particle Showers

Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the Karlsruher Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany Offers the first laboratory validation of microscopic simulations of radio emission from particle showers, including a detailed description of the simulation study

Presents a potential avenue for resolving the mass composition of cosmic rays via radio detection of air showers
