Superhigh-energy cosmic ray detection using shower radioemission

It is argued that preconditions currently exist for more actively studying the possibility of detecting cosmic rays of superhigh energy (10²¹–10²³ eV) by observing radio emission from a cascade shower. To illustrate this point, major results from the initial period of research (1961–1980) are briefly reviewed, problems unresolved at that time are pointed out, and subsequent advances that have stimulated further progress in this area are described.
