LOPES 3D reconfiguration and first measurements

摘要：

The Radio detection technique of high-energy cosmic rays is based on the radio signal emitted by the chargedparticles in an air shower due to their deflection in the Earths magnetic field. The LOPES experiment at KarlsruheInstitute of Technology, Germany with its simple dipoles made major contributions to the revival of this technique.LOPES is working in the frequency range from 40 to 80 MHz and was reconfigured several times to improve and furtherdevelop the radio detection technique. In the current setup LOPES consists of 10 tripole antennas which measure thecomplete electric field vector of the radio emission from cosmic rays. LOPES is the first experiment measuring all threevectorial components at once and thereby gaining the full information about the electric field vector and not only a two-dimensionalprojection. Such a setup including also measurements of the vertical electric field component is expectedto increase the sensitivity to inclined showers and help to advance the understanding of the emission mechanism. Wepresent the reconfiguration and calibration procedure of LOPES 3D and discuss first measurements.
