It presents a potential future avenue for resolving the mass composition of cosmic rays via radio detection of air showers.  Particle showers are created from cascading interactions when high-energy particles collide with matter, e.g. with air in the case of cosmic radiation, or with a particle detector in the case of experiments at CERN. These showers can consist of billions of particles, mostly electrons, positrons and photons. They emit radio waves when the absorbing medium is in a magnetic field, and this radio emission can be used as a novel means of detecting and drawing inferences on the shower and the primary particle. The new method is currently being established in cosmic ray research, where large antenna arrays may soon replace or complement traditional particle detectors.  In thi s study, a complete microscopic simulation of a radio-emission experiment conducted at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), Stanford/USA, is performed, and the underlying physical models are validated. The model is subsequently applied to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project, which is a large interferometer for radio astronomy. It is demonstrated that the SKA, with some modifications, might also be used for cosmic ray research based on radio detection of high-energy particles from the cosmos. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aPhysics 606 $aPhysical measurements 606 $aMeasurement    606 $aAstrophysics and Astroparticles$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022 606 $aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19021 606 $aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31040 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aPhysical measurements. 615 0$aMeasurement   . 615 14$aAstrophysics and Astroparticles. 615 24$aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation. 615 24$aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation. 676 $a522.682 700 $aZilles$b Anne$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0819591 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254598003321 996 $aEmission of Radio Waves in Particle Showers$92047121 997 $aUNINA
