Description
An air shower is produced when the primary cosmic ray particle interacts with the Earth’s atmosphere and consists of three main components - hadronic, muonic and electromagnetic. The detection of the electromagnetic component is performed at the Pierre Auger Observatory by using the antennas of the AERA facility. The measured voltages, used for electric field reconstruction, are affected by noise and the influence of this noise must be minimized. Thus, a new analytical reconstruction method called the “forward-folding” method was investigated. The quantities reconstructed by this method were compared to the ones obtained with the
standard method and also to the values determined from simulations of radio signal induced in air showers.
