| Abstract | This project will enhance the precision and sensitivity of radio detectors used for the study of ultrahigh-energy cosmic particles through the development of Eisvogel, a novel open-source electromagnetic simulation code that enables for the first time the detailed study of radio propagation in complex media. The simplistic geometric optics modeling currently used by the radio detection community is not valid in the complicated environments inhabited by real detectors, leading to substantial unce |
