CORSIKA 8 (C8) is a project structured in a modular and flexible way that allows the inclusion and development of independent modules that can produce a fully customizable air shower simulation. The calculation of radio emission from the simulated particle showers is incorporated as an integral module of C8, including signal propagation and electric field calculation at each antenna location...
I will give a brief overview of the status quo of the simulation of in-ice radio detectors (such as ARIANNA/ARA/RNO-G/IceCube-Gen2). I will focus on the current limitations and how Corsika 8 can be used to solve them. I will discuss the event geometries that are relevant for us: 1) in-ice showers that develop in a homogeneous medium with radio signals propagating through inhomogeneous media ...
We summarize the results of simulation studies of the propagation of cosmic ray air shower cores through high-altitude polar ice sheets, using the COSIKA 7.7100 Monte Carlo code and the Geant4 10.5 simulation toolkit. We discuss the general characteristics of the in-ice particle cascade, including the energy density deposted in the ice, the longitudinal development of the shower, and the...
When a particle shower crosses the boundary between two dielectric media, transition radiation is produced. This effect can produce a sizable signal over a wide solid angle, but still remains hard to take into account in current Monte Carlos. The new geometry structure and process sequence in Corsika 8 will allow a natural implementation of transition radiation.
In this talk I will give an...
A mini array called DEASA (Dayalbagh Educational Air Shower Array) has been set up in Nuclear Electronics Laboratory, Dayalbagh Educational Institute Agra. This is the first detector array in Northern India (Uttar Pradesh) to study the cosmic rays. This array is 168 m above sea level with a latitude of 27.22° N and a longitude of 78° E.DEASA has been set up and started working at the Dayalbagh...
