Abstract
MGMR3D is a code that calculates the complete radio footprint, i.e. intensity, polarization and pulse shapes, for a parametrized shower current density using a semianalytic approach. The non-Monte-Carlo code is fast (typically 10 seconds for a complete footprint) and thus can be used in a chi-square optimization calculation of atmospheric electric fields or to optimize antenna geometry.
Highlights
Since the code calculates the footprint from first principles once the currents are specified, the results include Cherenkov effects due to a finite refractivity of air
In response to request from the community we have build a code that is fast, predictive, and calculates the complete radio footprint from first principles using the 3-dimensional structure of an extensive air shower
As such it can be used in a chi-square optimization code to determine the current structure as function of height in the atmosphere as is needed for determining electric fields inclouds
Summary
Since the code calculates the footprint from first principles once the currents are specified, the results include Cherenkov effects due to a finite refractivity of air. In response to request from the community we have build a code that is fast, predictive, and calculates the complete radio footprint from first principles using the 3-dimensional structure of an extensive air shower. As such it can be used in a chi-square optimization code to determine the current structure as function of height in the atmosphere as is needed for determining electric fields in (thunder-)clouds.
