Abstract
The Utility for Radio Beam-formed Observations (TURBO) will be a $1$ km$^2$ radio array of about $800$ radio antennas planned as part of the Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO). The array will detect pulsed radio emission from extensive air showers in the 50–200 MHz frequency band and be triggered by Water-Cherenkov Detectors. It aims to enhance SWGO’s sensitivity and effective aperture for photons above PeV energies and to allow more detailed and hybrid observations of charged cosmic-ray air showers. We will discuss the science case of SWGO, demonstrate the interferometric reconstruction technique, and present the current plans and status of the TURBO antenna design and array layout.
