CODALEMA is one of the pioneer experiments dedicated to the radio detection of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR), located at the radio observatory of Nançay (France).
On the 28th of June 2013, Ahmed Rebai defended is thesis on the following subject: Study of the energy and the radio emission point of cosmic rays. His work was based on data collected by the Coda2 and the Coda3 configuration of the instruments. The summary of his document is the following :
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.

Colas Rivière defended his thesis on the 17th of December 2009 entitled From radio signals to cosmic rays. Colas work was one of the strongest contribution to the analysis of the radio and particle signals recorded when the instruments were in the Codalema 2 configuration. The summary of his document is the following :
Radio detection of high energy cosmic rays is currently being reinvested, both on the experimental and theoretical sides.

The new setup of the CODALEMA experiment installed at the Radio Observatory in Nançay, France, is described. It includes broadband active dipole antennas and an extended and upgraded particle detector array.
On the 28th of November 2008, Thomas Saugrin defended his thesis on the following subject: Detection and characterization of the radio emission from atmospheric showers induced by cosmic rays with energy above 10^16 eV by the CODALEMA experiment. Jennifer analyzed the data from the Coda2 antenna array. The summary of his document is the following :
Ultra high energy cosmic rays, extraterrestrial particles which nature and origin remain today uncertain, are ordinarily studied by using two major techniques of EAS (Extensive Air Shower) detection: ground particles detectors or fluorescence light telescopes.
On the 30th of September 2008, Sandra Valcarès defended his thesis on the following subject: Cosmic ray properties from the electric fields measured by the CODALEMA experiment. Sandra work was in particular focusing on the development of a linear predicting method to enhance the cosmic ray radio signal identification. The summary of his document is the following :
This thesis is dedicated to the study of high energy cosmic rays that penetrating the atmosphere and dissipating their energy by producing a very large amount of secondary particles called an air shower.
