Radio wavefront of very inclined extensive air-showers observed with extended and sparse radio arrays [IMA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2112.07542


In this article we perform a simulation-based study of the shape of the electromagnetic wavefront of air showers induced by cosmic rays. We show that for showers with zenith angles larger than 60{\deg}, a point-source like description of the wave-front is sufficient and that the reconstructed position of this point-source is a potential proxy for the determination of the nature of the cosmic rays initiating the showers, with performances similar to those obtained using the depth of shower maximum.
