Some possible interpretations from data of the CODALEMA experiment

The purpose of the CODALEMA experiment, installed at the Nançay Radio Observatory (France), is to study the radio-detection of ultra-high energy cosmic rays in the energy range of $10^{16}-10^{18} eV$. Distributed over an area of 0.25 km$^2$, the original device uses in coincidence an array of particle detectors and an array of short antennas, with a centralized acquisition. A new analysis of the observable in energy for radio is presented from this system, taking into account the geomagnetic effect. Since 2011, a new array of radio-detectors, consisting of 60 stand-alone and self-triggered stations, is being deployed over an area of 1.5 km$^2$ around the initial configuration. This new development leads to specific constraints to be discussed in term of recognition of cosmic rays and in term of analysis of wave-front.
