Abstract

Detection of (ultra-) high-energy cosmic rays with the use of radio frequency\nemission from extensive air showers has been proven as complimentary to\nexisting ground array detection techniques. Great progress has been made in the\nunderstanding of the emission processes and in their Monte Carlo modelling.\nThese have led to experimental results, notably also at the Auger Engineering\nRadio Array, on energy, angular and mass composition resolution of the primary\ncosmic rays. Recent results are reported. The measured resolutions turn out to\nbe competitive with existing techniques and they have independent\nuncertainties. Implications for cross-calibration with existing techniques and\nfor future large-scale applications of radio detection of ultra-high-energy\ncosmic rays are discussed.\n
