This thesis offers the first laboratory validation of microscopic
simulations of radio emission from particle showers, including a
detailed description of the simulation study. It presents a
potential future avenue for resolving the mass composition of
cosmic rays via radio detection of air showers. Particle showers
are created from cascading interactions when high-energy particles
collide with matter, e.g. with air in the case of cosmic radiation,
or with a particle detector in the case of experiments at CERN.
These showers can consist of billions of particles, mostly
electrons, positrons and photons. They emit radio waves when the
absorbing medium is in a magnetic field, and this radio emission
can be used as a novel means of detecting and drawing inferences on
the shower and the primary particle. The new method is currently
being established in cosmic ray research, where large antenna
arrays may soon replace or complement traditional particle
detectors. In thi s study, a complete microscopic simulation of a
radio-emission experiment conducted at Stanford Linear Accelerator
Center (SLAC), Stanford/USA, is performed, and the underlying
physical models are validated. The model is subsequently applied to
the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project, which is a large
interferometer for radio astronomy. It is demonstrated that the
SKA, with some modifications, might also be used for cosmic ray
research based on radio detection of high-energy particles from the
cosmos.
