SUMMARY:Radio detection of air showers -- Recent results of LOFAR and 
 AERA\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Anna Nelles\, Radbo
 ud University\, Nijmegen\, The Nehterlands
DESCRIPTION:Radio detection of air showers has been suspected to be a 
 very promising alternative way to detect air shower for some time and 
 has only recently proven to fulfill this promise. Modern arrays of ant
 ennas like LOFAR and AERA have been exploring this technique in the la
 st years. The Low-Frequency Radio Array (LOFAR) is digital radio teles
 cope in the North of Europe. Its core in the Netherlands is  instrumen
 ted with hundreds of antennas\, as well as particle detectors. The hig
 h antenna density enables us to study detailed features of the radio e
 mission\, check air shower models and provide excellent measurements o
 f the shower development. The Auger Engineering Array (AERA) is co-loc
 ated with the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina\, allowing us to c
 ross-calibrate the radio measurements with the baseline detectors of A
 uger.  I will be reporting about the recent results of LOFAR and give 
 an update about the developments at AERA.
