Abstract
Radio signal from extensive air showers studied by the Codalema experiment have been detected by means
of short fat antennas array. Delay distributions of radio signal with respect to the plane wavefront hypothesis
have been analysed for individual events. Outputs from the fitting model have been compared with other
reconstruction models used in the same experiment. Results indicate that the radio shower core is systematically
shifted from the particle shower core in a statistic analysis approach. It means that the model used in this paper
predict an excess negative charge during the developpement of the shower in the atmosphere. Comparison
between radius of curvature obtained with data and Xmax obtained with AIRES Monte Carlo simualtions for the
same set of events revealed a prelimenary study of the primary particle nature with the radiodetection method.

Introduction
Since the last decade, radiodetection of the ultra high energy cosmic rays has arised again as a complementary
detection technique to ground-based particle detector arrays and fluorescence telescopes. The lastest results from
CODALEMA and LOPES experiments have shown the potential and feasibility of this technique in terms of
sensitivity to the shower longitudinal development , the detection duty cycle was near to 100% and the low cost
of detectors. CODALEMA at Nançay has shown a north south asymmetry signature of a geomagnetic effect in the
radio signal production mechanism [1]. On the other hand LOPES has shown the possibility of reconstruction of
the radio lateral distribution function [2] that allows to have an observable linked to the shower developement
and correlated with the primary particle energy [3] and [4]. The radio emission center is a very important
observable since it is related to two properties of the primary particle its energy and its chemical composition
through the shower maximum developpement Xmax . In this paper, we discuss a new reconstruction method of
the radio signal wave front radius of curvature. We use a parabolic model (PM) that fit the distribution of time
residuals relative to plane wave hypothesis. We show the origin of the reconstruction model and the results from
the CODALEMA data.

Experimental situation
Since 2002, CODALEMA experience [5], hosted on the radio observatory site at Nançay with geographical
coordinates (47.3◦ N, 2.1◦ E and 137 m above sea level), aims to study the potential of the radiodetection technique
in the 1016 eV energy range(detection threshold) to 1018 eV (upper limit imposed by the area surface). It consists
of an array of 24 active dipole antennas spread over a surface of about 1 km2 , an array of 17 particle scintillator
4
detectors and a 144 conic logarithmic antennas from the Nançay decametric array (see fig. 1).

2. Figure 1 – Set up of CODALEMA experience showing the disposition of the particle detectors array (red) and the dipole antenna array
(yellow) used for this study.
Triggering the scintillator data acquisition system is defined by the passage in coincidence of secondary
particles, created in extensive atmospheric shower, through each of the 5 central particle detectors. Trigger
detection threshold energy is equal to 5.1015 eV. The radio waves forms in each antenna is recorded in a 0-250
MHz frequency band during a 2.5 µs time window with a 1GS/s sampling rate. Radio events that are detected
by dipole antenna array in coincidence with atmospheric shower events are identified during offline analysis
[5] [1]. After this analysis phase, a data set containing the parameters of the shower reconstructed using the
information provided by the particle detectors (arrival times distribution, arrival directions, shower core on the
ground and energy) and a set of observables for each radio antennas (arrival times distribution, radio signal
amplitude) and the observables of the reconstructed shower by the use of radio data alone (arrival time, direction
arrival, radio shower core on the ground, energy) are obtained event by event. These observations are used to
study the curvature of the radio wave front that could be one of the discriminating variables the nature of the
primary (estimate of Xmax ).
4
Experimental motivations
In the first approximation the radio signal front is assumed to be a plane perpendicular to the shower axis.
Then, the primary particle direction of motion can be determined directly by triangulation using the time of
flight between different antennas. According to this hypothesis if we take the first tagged antenna, in each event,
as a reference for arrival time and we plot the theoretical time delay ∆ttheo as a function of the experimental
time delay ∆texp (see Appendix A for time delay calculation methods). We should observe an alignment with the
plane wave best line fit. But when this test is performed on data we see that points deviate from this line (see
fig. 2) despite the 10 ns experimental timing uncertainty (See Appendix B for understanding the origin of such
uncertainties).
2

3. Figure 2 – The black line presents the plane wave best line fit, we see that despite the error bars of 10 ns on both axes. Many points
systematically from the line which shows that the wavefront is not a plan
This deviation from planarity is not a systematic experimetal bias time measurements on antennas so it can be
explained by the fact that the wave front has not a plane form (shape) but another one and the signal generation
region in the shower was located at a distance Rc from the ground with respect to the arrival direction. To verify
this effect, simulations of wave propagation from this emission center have been performed with the triple
goal of reproducing event per event the geometric configuration, using of a spherical wave shape for simplicity
reasons and approaching the real detection conditions in terms of time resolution by random number generator
(See Appendix C). The figure 2 shows a simulation where we have used the same parameters of the event (see
fig. 2) and the emission center is distant of 3, 5 and 10 km from the ground. We can conclude two important
effects : the simulations reproduced the data in the context that the wavefront shape is different from a plan and
the emission center moving away from the ground more points in the figure approaches from the best fit line is
a clear tendency to the normal plane wave.
5
Theoretical foundation of the reconstruction model
As explicitly mentionned above, we have demonstrated that the wave front is slightly curved. This curvature
is due to the fact that the source of the radio signal is space-localized. We now propose to reconstruct the emission
center position. Our reconstruction is not based upon adjusting the wavefront shape which has a complicated
geometry dependent on the shower developpement but based on fitting the difference between real and a
hypothetical plane wavefront by a parabola this is correct for basic geometrical consideration 3. Modeling of
this difference requires four hypothesis :
– The lateral spread is ignored.
– The emission region is situated at a large distance Rc compared to distances between antennas and shower
axis (Rc >> d) (see fig. 3).
– Radio waves are supposed to travel at the speed of light.
– Antenna and shower core coordinates need to be changed into the shower coordinate system by 2 angular
rotation.
We can write this difference as follows :
∆ = MG − MO,

Figure 3 – Sketch of a simplified relation between wavefront shape and curvature radius
Developing more the four hypothesis assumed at this section : Let’s start with the first hypothesis, one can
be considered the air shower particles responsible for the radio emission are concentrated in a region of space
close to the shower axis. The coherence property of the signal leeds to a lateral spatial extension variate between
3 m to 13 m order the chosen frequency band. For the longitudinal thickness of the region, it is known after
the work of Linsley [6] that the particles swarm has a few meters of longitudinal thickness. It is clear now that
most electrons/positrons are concentrated in a small symmetric cylindrically volume with negligible dimensions
compared to the distances between the emission center and the array of antennas which explains the above
approximation Rc >> d. Finally, the last hypothesis was necessary to generalize the reconstruction model to all
showers with different zenith angles.
Yet, the difference ∆ is a parabolic function of the distance d. In term of arrival times, ∆ is expressed by the time
pred
delay between the instant ti predicted by the hypothetical passage of the plane wave front on antenna i and
the instant tmax measured experimentaly by the slightly curved wave front on the same antenna (see Appendix
i
A). In order to ensure identical treatment for all showers despite of their zenith angles θ. The coordinates of the
pred
antennas (xi , yi , zi = 0) and times (tmax ,ti ) must be expressed in a new frame called the shower frame defined

Curvefitting toolbox and Optimization toolbox have been used and give the same results. We found that the more
appropriate algorithm for the resolution of the minimization problem was the Levenberg-Marquardt designed
for non-linear problems.

Data analysis and events selection Criteria
Selection strategy
Our strategy for estimating the radius of curvature demanded the selection of only those events in which we
are sure of their quality and their parameters reconstructed by other models in order to facilitate comparison
between different models. For this we have chosen a selection with cuts similar to those used to fit the lateral
distribution function [8]. The data used in this paper were collected by the CODALEMA experiment during
over than 3 years between november 2006 and january 2010. We find a yield of 196526 events detected by the
scintillator array after selections we use 450 internal events.
Thus the key ingredients for selecting our set of events are the following :
– Selection of radio events candidate by choosing events were detected in coincidence between scintillator
and antennas array. je parle ici de l’arbre la fenetre en temps et la fenetre angulaire the following criteria must
be met : a time coincidence with +/-100 ns and an angular difference smaller than 20 degree in the arrival
directions reconstructed from both the particle and radio arrays. je peux parler ici du taux du trigger et de
taux d’evets fisiks par jour comme c’est indique dans ma presentation au SF2A
– Selection of internal events to be sure that shower core was situated inside the two array with a very good
estimation of energy (Fenergy =1).
– Multiplicity 5 because our model has 5 free parameters
– Only tagged antennas by event. This cut is applied to eliminate the antennas that have a low signal to
noise ratio in order to improve reconstruction.

6. This last cut does not remove any event although it improves their quality by getting rid of not tagged antennas.

Verification and Confirmation of Results
Numerical minimization of the χ2 function gives the shower core position (xr , yr , zr ) expressed in the shower
c c c
coordinate system. For using coordinates its need to be transformed by an inverse transformation that involves
the inverse rotation matrix (see Appendix D) to the ground frame. Our approach for the validation of the model
is based on the comparison of these reconstructed parameters with other models and with confirmed physical
values.
7.1
Consistent shower core elevation
The CODALEMA experiment is situated on a flat land of geographical altitude of 134 meters. Given the
lateral extension of the antenna array. We can be considered with a good approximation that antennas have an
altitude equal to zero meter in the ground local reference. The figure 5 shows a histogram of the shower core
altitudes for selected events. We can conclude that elevations are consistent with the geometric configuration of
the antenna array. Then the model give a correct zc consistent with zero. j’ajoute une etude statistique pour les evets
qui ont un z vraiment egale a 0 et les z qui sont a peu pres different quantification avec des pourcentages

7.2
Confirmation of the radio core east shifting signature of charge excess mechanism
We can consider that the real test of validation of our experimental reconstruction is whether it predicts
the systematic shift between the radio core and the particle radio. This shifting is an evidence of a negative
charge excess in the electromagnetic component during the shower developement. This effect was predicted by
Askaryan [9] in the sixties of the last century. According to [9], this negative charge excess acts as a monopoly
that moves with the speed of light and which contributes to the emission by coherent radio signal. The processes
responsible for this negative charge excess are :
– Compton recoil electrons ejected into shower by photons with energy less than 20 MeV.
– δ-ray process which consist of electrons ejected from external atomic orbital under the influence of electromagnetic cascade.
– Fast annihilation of positrons in flight.
Further explanations are compiled in the Allan review [10]. This effect has several signatures. it appears in
the polarization of the electric field on the ground as shown in [11] also in the systematic shift between radio
shower core and particle shower core seen in data with [12] and [13] and explained by simulations in [14]. The
reconstruction model used in these papers assume that the lateral density profile (LDF) of the radio shower
7

8. follow a decreasing exponential as mentionned by Allan in [10]. Then, the electric field has this formula
E = E0 .exp(−
ld f
((x − xc )2 + (y − yc )2 − ((x − xc ).cos(φ).sin(θ) + (y − yc ).sin(φ).sin(θ))2 )
)
d0
ld f
with xc , yc were coordinates of the radio shower core by the LDF model. The radio core were expressed in
particle core frame with the next geometrical transformation
S = rr − rp
with rr and rp are vectors respectively for radio and particle shower cores and S the vector which represent the
systematic shift.
Figure 6 demonstrates a comparaison between the east-west projection of the systematic shift SEW measured
by PM and LDF models. Obtained curves are fitted by a gaussian. According to our statistical approach, it can
be concluded that the radio shower cores are shifted towards the east with respect to the particle shower cores.
This shift is a physical effect verified by both methods. We remember that the two methods are completely
independent. PM method is based on the distribution of arrival times and the LDF method is based on the
amplitudes of the radio signal on the antennas. One can interpret the difference in the mean shift value between
the two models by the signal to noise ratio is different for the two methods. LDF model is based on the radio
signal amplitudes on the antennas. CODALEMA antennas are occupied by a low noise amplifier (LNA) are
very sensitive to the signals detected. Knowing that the noise level of the galactic background is worth ? ? and
the value of a signal typically developed by a shower with an energy of 1017 in the range of ? ? ? ? µV/m. This
sensibility can expect a ratio of the order ? ? ?

il faut aussi montrer la courbe Rc en fct de theta ou bien en fonction du cos(theta) pour discuter le fait que Rc augmente

Atmospheric density profile
The earth’s atmosphere acts like a layer of matter with 1000g.cm−2 of thickness. The earth’s atmosphere acts
like a volume of detection where the primary particle deposits its energy as huge number of secondary. Then,
any attempt for the determination of chemical composition of UHECR passes through the fine understanding
of the atmosphere density variation as function of the altitude above the sea level exactly at the experiment site
in France. For these reasons, the atmospheric density profile is a highly required knowledge for converting the
reconstructed radius of curvature into the shower maximum Xmax using this formula :
radio
Xmax =
f Linsley (Rc .cos(θ)))
cos(θ))
where fLinsley is a function following the Linsley’s parameterization which divides the atmosphere into five layers
and give a realistic approximation. So we have compiled data from the US standard atmosphere cited in Aires
user manual [?] and from the middle europe atmosphere in 7 months implemented in Corsika package [?]. We
have used the Linsley’s parameterization [?]. Our compilation shows that both atmospheres have very similar
characteristics (see fig. 11). The same figure shows that the error in the Xmax estimation due to the atmosphere
collected data is the order of σatm = 45g.cm−2 which represents a first source of systematic error on the our
chemical composition estimation.

Appendix A. Calculation method for theoretical and experimental time delays
11.1
Theoretical time delay calculation
We assume here that the signal propagation is carried out with a constant speed which is the speed of light
in the vacuum c and in the hypothesis that the radio signal wave front is a plan perpendicular to the arrival
direction. The plan equation can be written as :
u.x + v.y + w.z + d = 0,
with (u, v, w) = (cos(φ).sin(θ), sin(φ).sin(θ), cos(θ)) are the coordinates of the unit vector n normal to the plane.
Now we take the first tagged antenna (fta) as reference to calculate the constant d. the equation becomes :
u.x + v.y + w.z − (u.x f ta + v.y f ta + w.z f ta ) = 0,
The distance between this plane and the other tagged antennas located at positions (xi , yi , zi ) with i = 1, ..., N is
given by this formula :
|u.xi + v.yi + w.zi − (u.x f ta + v.y f ta + w.z f ta )|
di =
√
u2 + v2 + w2
The arrival time of the plan on each antenna is given by simple division of the distance di by c then :
pred
ti
= t f ta +

.

this formula allows to reproduce the plane wave propagation from the first tagged antenna until other antennas.

Appendix B. Time uncertainty calculation
ici je developpe la methode pour estimer la resolution temporelle des antennes de l’experience Codalema
les erreurs temporels sont dues a la methode de filtrage numerique par le filtre. Codalema utilise la bande 23-83 Mhz propre
des emetteurs parasites. Ce filtrage donne des signaux qui oscillent avec des periodes variantes entre 12 et 43 ns et puisque
on s’interesse au maximum positif des signaux filtres (qui correspondent a une supeposition non destrcuctive des emissions
radio qui proviennent de la gerbe. des signaux en phase). alors on divise ces periodes par un facteur 2 d’ou l’utilisation de
10 ns d’erreur.
timing errors are due to the method of digital filtering by the filter. Codalema uses the 23-83 Mhz band clean
from the parasites transmitters. This filtering gives signals that oscillate with periods ranging between 12 and 43
ns. and since we are interested in the maximum positive signal filters (which correspond to a non supeposition
destrcuctive radio emissions coming from the shower)
13
Appendix C. Simulations of wave front propagation with spheric shape
Simulated events generation is based on purely geometric considerations (In this study, we did not use
complete simulation given by REAS3 or SELFAS2 but its can be used for future more realistic tests). To generate
a simulated event, we fix the radius of curvature Rc , azimuthal and zenith angles values (φ, θ) and coordinates
of the shower core (xc , yc , zc ), we calculate the coordinates of the the emission center with :

 x0 = R.cos(φ).sin(θ) + xc (1)




 y0 = R.sin(φ).sin(θ) + yc (2)




z0 = R.cos(θ) + zc (3)
These coordinates allow us to determine the distance between a given antenna and the center of emission.
d = (x0 − xi )2 + (y0 − yi )2 + (z0 − zi )2 . We calculate the wave arrival time at each antenna by the following
formula : ti = t0 + d/c. Since the antenna has a time resolution and non-zero error that affects off-line analysis,
one must take into account in our simulation so we fluctuates over time on the antenna of a normal distribution
1
with this formula : ti = t0 + d .gauss(0, 1).σtime with gauss(0, 1) = √ exp(−0.5λ2 )
