THE suggestion by Askaryan1 that a detectable radio pulse should be emitted by an extensive air shower was based on the coherent emission from a negative charge excess in the shower front. A more detailed analysis by Kahn and Lerche2 showed that a radio pulse may also be emitted by the transverse current in the shower front which results from separation of charges in the Earth's magnetic field. Using a restricted model of the shower, consisting of a ring of charges, they showed that the radiation resulting from separation of charges would be expected to dominate over that from an excess of charges.
