Description
We present ZHAireS a Monte Carlo code that allows the calculation
of the Cherenkov radio pulse emitted by electromagnetic, hadronic
and neutrino-induced showers in ice up to the EeV energies.
ZHAIRES combines the high energy hadronic interaction
capabilities of AIRES, and the dense media propagation
capabilities of TIERRAS, with the precise low energy tracking
and specific algorithms developed to calculate the radio emission
in ZHS. The characteristics of hadronic showers and the corresponding
Cherenkov radio pulses are compared with those from purely electromagnetic
showers in both the time and frequency domains.
The code and algorithms developed also serve to predict radio
emission in extensive air showers, automatically accounting for
both the synchrotron and Cherenkov radiation mechanisms.
