arXiv preprint arXiv:1303.7080, 2013•arxiv.orgLOPES 3D is able to measure all three components of the electric field vector of the radio
emission from air showers. This allows a better comparison with emission models. The
measurement of the vertical component increases the sensitivity to inclined showers. By
measuring all three components of the electric field vector LOPES 3D demonstrates by how
much the reconstruction accuracy of primary cosmic ray parameters increases. Thus LOPES
3D evaluates the usefulness of vectorial measurements for large scale applications.
