When a cosmic ray with an energy above $10^{3}\GeV$ comes into contact with the atmosphere, secondary particles are generated, forming an \gls{EAS}.
|
||||
This air shower consists of a cascade of interactions producing more particles that subsequently undergo further interactions.
|
||||
Thus, the number of particles rapidly increases further down the air shower.
|
||||
This happens until the mean energy per particle is sufficiently lowered such that these particles are absorbed by the atmosphere.

An additional mechanism emitting radiation was theorised by Askaryan\cite{Askaryan:1961pfb}.
|
||||
Due to the large inertia of the positively charged ions with respect to their light, negatively charged electrons, a negative charge excess is created.
|
||||
In turn, this generates radiation that is polarised radially towards the shower axis (see Figure~\ref{fig:airshower:polarisation}).
