Extract

Extensive air showers radiate because they are essentially sheets of charge moving through a medium at relativistic velocities. Of interest in the present experiment are their emissions in the optical and radio regions of the spectrum—the first long accepted as primarily of a Cerenkov origin, and the second very far from fully understood.
