| Résumé : | Inspired by recent measurements suggesting that Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray air showers might emit signals in the microwave region, several experiments were realized. The emission is expected to be produced in the plasma, created by the passage of the air shower through the atmosphere and is expected to be isotropic and unpolarized, allowing the detection of air showers with nearly 100% duty cycle and a calorimetric-like energy measurement, which would improve significantly the detection efficiency of current techniques. The goal of the AMY experiment is to measure in laboratory conditions the yield and the spectrum of the GHz emission in the frequency range between 1 and 20 GHz. The tests were performed at the Beam Test Facility, Frascati, Italy using a beam of 510 MeV electrons. The details of the measurement performed so far and the first results are presented. © 2013 Sociedade Brasileira de Fisica. All Rights Reserved. |
