Description

Measurements of radio emission, associated with Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray particles interaction in a dense dielectric material, provide an effective method of their detection and exploration. The Hawaii Askaryan in Salt Radio Array (HASRA) was built to explore possibility of detection of coherent radio Cherenkov emission in rock salt from interaction of cosmic ray protons and air shower particles. Performance of the detector, the implemented detection techniques, and results of 1 year of measurements of Askaryan effect from CR particles with energy above 100 GeV will be reported. Also potential of the future detectors utilizing radio techniques in rock salt will be discussed.
