Taking advantage of recent technical progress which has overcome some of the difficulties encountered in the 1960s in the radio detection of extensive air showers induced by ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECR), a new experimental apparatus (CODALEMA) has been built and operated. We will present th

β¦ Synopsis
The possibilities of measuring Extremely High Energy Cosmic Rays by radio detection of electromagnetic pulses radiated during the development of extensive air showers in the atmosphere are investigated. We present the demonstrative CODALEMA experiment, set up at Nan@ay Radio-Observatory (France). The radio-decametric array has been adapted to measure radio transients in time coincidence between antennas.

In the last few years, radio detection of cosmic ray air showers has experienced a true renaissance, becoming manifest in a number of new experiments and simulation efforts. In particular, the LOPES project has successfully implemented modern interferometric methods to measure the radio emission fro
