    The Probe Of Extreme Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (POEMMA) is a proposed mission designed to observe ultra-high-energy cosmic rays and cosmic neutrinos using space-based measurements of extensive air showers. A precursor to this mission is POEMMA Balloon with Radio (PBR). Scheduled for launch in 2028 from Wanaka, New Zealand, PBR will operate at a suborbital altitude of approximately 33 km....

    The Hybrid Elevated Radio Observatory for Neutrinos, or HERON, is a new detector concept for ultrahigh energy (E > 100 PeV) neutrinos. HERON consists of 24 compact phased radio arrays embedded within a larger sparse array of 360 standalone antennas, deployed along the side of a ~100 km mountain range in Argentina. The phased arrays provide high sensitivity to the geomagnetic emission of...

    The Utility for Radio Beam-formed Observations (TURBO) will be a $1$ km$^2$ radio array of about $800$ radio antennas planned as part of the Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO). The array will detect pulsed radio emission from extensive air showers in the 50–200 MHz frequency band and be triggered by Water-Cherenkov Detectors. It aims to enhance SWGO’s sensitivity and effective...

    Construction of SKA-Low is well underway in Australia. This telescope has a dense core of almost 60,000 antennas within a single square kilometer, and will offer a unique opportunity to measure air showers between the knee and the ankle regions in unprecedented detail. This is a critical energy range for probing the most powerful Galactic accelerators and the onset of the extragalactic...

    The detection of astrophysical photons of the highest energies is an important goal of modern gamma-ray astronomy and will improve our understanding of sources of cosmic ray acceleration in our Galaxy. While current generation gamma-ray observatories have barely reached the PeV energy range, higher energies still remain elusive, as they require large areas and efficient gamma-hadron...

    In the past two decades, the radio detection of cosmic-ray extensive air showers (EAS) has developed into a technique with a resolution on cosmic-ray properties that is competitive with other observation techniques, at relatively low cost and high uptime. The results of existing radio cosmic-ray experiments have shown good agreement with other measurements as well as predictions from...

    A new way of imaging an extensive air shower through its radio emission will be presented. A modification to ZHAireS has been made to simulate an ideal radio telescope and demonstrate its capabilities. With it, the essential properties of imaging the radio emission from air showers and similarities to imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes will be discussed. Lastly, a new form of radio...

    The autonomous radio-detection of extensive air showers initiated by ultra-high-energy (UHE) particles arriving with very inclined zenith angles has seen significant advancements in recent years, with several large-scale surface arrays planned and prototypes already in operation. Hybrid arrays combining radio antennas and scintillators, could serve as competitive UHE photon detectors. Indeed,...

    Large-area detector arrays such as the Pierre Auger Observatory and the Telescope Array (TA) have made significant progress in detecting inclined cosmic-ray air showers (with zenith angles > 60°), which provide a powerful tool for studying ultra-high-energy particles. Combining a sparse antenna array with surface detectors, the Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) has already detected inclined...
