Scientific paper

When a cosmic ray enters the Earth's atmosphere, an avalanche of (charged) particles is created, which is called an air shower. Charged particles passing through the Earth's magnetic field emit electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by ground-based dipole antennas. The southern site of the Pierre Auger Observatory, located in Argentina, provides an excellent environment for testing various prototype radio detectors for cosmic-ray studies. The first results of prototype radio detectors will be discussed. The events obtained will be used to characterize the radio signal of air showers. The results of this initial phase provide an important milestone on the path to an engineering array of several tens square kilometers.
