Coherent Cherenkov Radiation from Cosmic-Ray-Induced Air Showers

Very energetic cosmic rays entering the atmosphere of the Earth will create a plasma cloud moving with almost the speed of light. The magnetic field of the Earth induces an electric current in this cloud which is responsible for the emission of coherent electromagnetic radiation. We propose to search for …
