Abstract

The effect of the environment on the results of measuring the radio radiation spectrum is considered in the experimental simulation of the cascade shower by a high-energy γ-ray beam in a dense medium. The calculation shows that the character of the measured energy spectrum depends on the location of the receiving antenna with respect to the shower axis.
