High energy cosmic rays, hitting the Earth's atmosphere, produce large amounts of secondary particles in an extensive air shower (EAS). Radio pulses from these air showers were measured during the late 1960ies and early 1970ies.
Mainly due to difficulties with radio interference these measurements ceased in the late 1970ies. LOFAR (Low Frequency Array), the new digital radio interferometer under development, will work in the frequency range of interest for air showers. To test this new technology we are building a ''LOFAR Prototype Station'' (LOPES).
This will operate in conjunction with an existing air shower array (KASCADE in Karlsruhe) to clarify the nature and properties of radio emission from air showers and develop the software to use LOFAR as a cosmic ray detector.
