Resumo

At the Yakutsk array in 1986 regular measurements of radio emission produced by relativistic air shower particles were started. After monitoring of background noise in the array area frequency of 30–35 MHz was chosen, since noise level is minimal in this frequency range. During this time, air showers with highest energies of 100 EeV were registered. By using hybrid measurements of charged particles, Cherenkov light and radio emission it was shown that signal amplitude proportional to air shower energy and shape of lateral distribution at sea level correlates with the depth of maximum development. Using the obtained characteristics, atomic weight of primary particles that generated air shower was estimated within QGSjetII-04 framework simulation.
