Resumen:
The advent of the Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) necessitates the
development of a powerful framework for the analysis of radio
measurements of cosmic ray air showers. As AERA performs radio-hybrid
measurements of air shower radio emission in coincidence with the
surface particle detectors and fluorescence telescopes of the Pierre
Auger Observatory, the radio analysis functionality had to be
incorporated in the existing hybrid analysis solutions for fluorescence
and surface detector data. This goal has been achieved in a natural way
by extending the existing Auger Offline software framework with radio
functionality. In this article, we lay out the design, highlights and
features of the radio extension implemented in the Auger Offline
framework. Its functionality has achieved a high degree of
sophistication and offers advanced features such as vectorial
reconstruction of the electric field, advanced signal processing
algorithms, a transparent and efficient handling of FFTs, a very
detailed simulation of detector effects, and the read-in of multiple
data formats including data from various radio simulation codes. The
source code of this radio functionality can be made available to
interested parties on request.
