Background conditions for observing radio emission of ultrahigh-energy radio emission particles
Abstract
An experiment was carried out to determine the background conditions in near-Earth space for radio emission observations of primary cosmic rays at energies exceeding 10 to the 19th eV. Extensive air showers were observed during the G60S experiment with the Vertikal rocket. Measurements were made at heights above the ionosphere and for frequencies of radiation not reflected by the ionosphere. Averaged emission spectra for various heights from 108 to 1500 km are presented. Measurement results given are for the 20 to 80 MHz frequency range.
