Description

The lateral distribution of the air shower radio emission has been measured for over 1,000 showers. After normalisation to correct for differences in shower size and orientation, the measurements fit a common radio lateral distribution function within the experimental errors. Ten showers with anomalously high field strengths occurred during thundery weather. The attempt to study shower fluctuations through radio emission has been abandoned. The frequency spectrum and other properties of the radiation are shown to be in good agreement with theory. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Fuer ueber 1.000 Schauer wurde die Breitenverteilung der Radioemission von Luftschauern gemessen. Nach der Normierung, die Abweichungen der Schauergroesse und Orientierung korrigiert, befriedigen die Messungen eine uebliche Breitenverteilungsfunktion innerhalb der experimentellen Fehler. 10 Schauer mit anormal hoher Feldstaerke ereigneten sich waehrend Gewittern. Der Versuch, Schauerfluktuationen mit Hilfe von Radioemissionen zu untersuchen, wurde aufgegeben. Das Frequenzspektrum und andere Eigenschaften der Strahlung stimmen gut mit der Theorie ueberein.
