LOFAR: The LOw-Frequency ARray

M. P. van Haarlem, +199 more
TL;DR: The International LOFAR Telescope (ILT) as mentioned in this paper is a new-generation radio interferometer constructed in the north of the Netherlands and across europe, which covers the largely unexplored low frequency range from 10-240 MHz and provides a number of unique observing capabilities.

A large light-mass component of cosmic rays at 10 17 –10 17.5 electronvolts from radio observations

TL;DR: Radio measurements of Xmax with a mean uncertainty of 16 grams per square centimetre for air showers initiated by cosmic rays with energies of 1017–1017.5 electronvolts enable us to determine the mass spectrum of the cosmic rays: a mixed composition, with a light-mass fraction (protons and helium nuclei) of about 80 per cent.
