Determination of cosmic-ray primary mass on an event-by-event basis using radio detection

Traditionally, the depth of maximum shower development Xmax has been used as a surrogate observable for composition. Here we present the possibility of a new methodology to discriminate between light and heavy cosmic-ray primaries on an event-by-event basis. This method is based on comparisons betwe...
