Antenna models

Overview of available Antenna Models

The following antenna models are available in NuRadioReco. The headings are the unique identifiers of the antenna model that need to specified as antenna_type in the detector description.

All antenna models are stored on a central data server and are downloaded automatically on-demand whenever the user requests the antenna model for the first time.

For developers: If you add new an antenna model please add it to this list and send me (Christian) the antenna model so that I can put it on our central server.

bicone_v8_inf_n1.0

WIPL-D simulation of ARA Bicone antenna. This antenna has been used by ARIANNA at the South Pole. The antenna is embedded in an infinite medium with an index of refraction of n = 1.0. The complex (magnitude + phase) vector effective length of both polarization components (ePhi, eTheta) is provided. Theta range [-90,90] Phi range [0,360] Freq range [5,1000]MHz

createLPDA_100MHz_z1cm_InFirn_RG

WIPL-D simulation of 100 MHz LPDA from create. This antenna is used by ARIANNA. lowest/largest tine 1cm above air (this is because in the simulation the geometry is inverted, the ground is air and the medium of the antenna is firn). The complex (magnitude + phase) vector effective length of both polarization components (ePhi, eTheta) is provided. Theta range [-90,90] Phi range [0,360] Freq range [5,1000]MHz assumed
