Enhancing the cosmic-ray mass sensitivity of air-shower arrays by combining radio and muon detectors

Abstract The muonic and electromagnetic components of air showers are sensitive to the mass of the primary cosmic particle. The sizes of the components can be measured with particle detectors on ground, and the electromagnetic component in addition indirectly via its radio emission in the atmosphere...
