29 Nov 2016 | | Abstract: | The Tunka-Radio extension (Tunka-Rex) is a radio detector for air showers in
Siberia. From 2012 to 2014 on, Tunka-Rex operated exclusively together with its
host experiment, the air-Cherenkov array Tunka-133, which provided trigger,
data acquisition, and an independent air-shower reconstruction. It was shown
that the air-shower energy can be reconstructed by Tunka-Rex with a precision
of 15\% for events with signal in at least 3 antennas, using the radio
amplitude at a distance of 120,m from the shower axis as an energy estimator.
Using the reconstruction from the host experiment Tunka-133 for the air-shower
geometry (shower core and direction), the energy estimator can in principle
already be obtained with measurements from a single antenna, close to the
reference distance. We present a method for event selection and energy
reconstruction, requiring only one antenna, and achieving a precision of about
20\%. This method enables energy reconstruction with Tunka-Rex for three times
more events than the standard reconstruction. The effective detector area is
tripled for high-energy events, vertical events are already observed at lower
energies, and the energy threshold decreases to by about 40\%. | | Source: | arXiv, 1611.9614 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
