Coherent Cherenkov radio emission and problems of ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray and neutrino detection

摘要

This review is concerned with prospects for employment of coherent Cherenkov radio emission for detecting ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays and neutrinos.Reasons for interest in and problems of studying the ultrahigh-energy particles are summarized.A history of the development of a radio-wave method and its main merits are recalled.Current experiments and proposals based on this method are briefly discussed with emphasize on the most recent Lunar Orbital Radio Detector (LORD) proposal.
