Status of air-shower measurements with sparse radio arrays
TLDR
Radio antennas will be a valuable add-on for any air shower array targeting the energy range above 100 PeV, and the combination of radio and muon measurements is expected to increase the accuracy of the mass composition, and this around-the-clock recording is not limited to clear nights as are the light-detection methods.
