Autonomous detection and analysis of radio emission from air showers at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Radio detectors acting as prototypes of the AERA project at the Pierre Auger Observatory have been used toobserve air showers. We present results from a first radio setup consisting of three detection stations running in a fully-autonomousmode and with an independent triggering detection technique. Different stations of a second radio setup havebeen used to study the emission mechanism. The resulting data sets from both setups confirm the dominant role of thegeomagnetic field in the emission mechanism. We present the results of these analyses and discuss how the polarizationinformation is used to disentangle the geomagnetic induced emission from the emission caused by the charge excess inthe shower.
