Description

Cosmic rays with energies above then the 1Eev is known as the UHECR(Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays). When a primary UHECR undergoes through an inelastic collision with the a nucleus in the atmosphere, it transfers the energy to the secondary particle and form the air showers. These air showers can cause the radio emissions through geomagnetic emissions and Askaryan radio emission. The in-ice antennas are then used to detect these radio signals. We will discuss the possible detection of the UHECR in ARA(Askaryan Radio Array) detector.
