TL;DR: Anti et al. as mentioned in this paper applied the unfolding method with a different low energy interaction model (FLUKA) instead of GHEISHA in the simulations, and the overall description of the measured data improves by using the FLUKA model.

TL;DR: In this article, the lateral distribution of the radio signal in air showers is studied in detail, and it is found that the lateral distributions of the electric field strengths in individual EAS can be described by an exponential function.

TL;DR: In this article, the lateral distribution of the radio signal in air showers measured with LOPES is studied in detail, and the measured lateral distributions are compared on an event-to-event basis with expectations of detailed Monte-Carlo simulations using the REAS2 code.

TL;DR: In this article, a new extensive air shower (EAS) experiment has been installed at the laboratory site of the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe and the main advantage of the new installation is the simultaneous measurement of a large number of observables for each individual event.
