The AMY experiment to measure GHz radiation for Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray detection

The Air Microwave Yield (AMY) project aims to measure the emission in the GHz regime from test-beam induced air-shower. The experiment is using the Beam Test Facility (BTF) of the Frascati INFN National Laboratories in Italy. The final purpose is to characterize a process to be used in a next generation of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) detectors. We describe the experimental apparatus and the first test performed in November 2011.
