Results from and prospects for the Auger Engineering Radio Array
The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) is one of the low-energy enhancements of the Pierre Auger Observatory. AERA is based on experience obtained with the LOPES and CODALEMA experiments in Europe and aims to study in the MHz region the details of the emission mechanism of radio signals from exten...
