abstract = {The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is a next-generation radio
telescope, and upon construction in 2030 the world's most
sensitive one. SKA will comprise a low frequency component
with almost 60 000 radio antennas on an extremely densely
instrumented area of about 1 km$^2$ located in Australia.
Sensitive to the radio emission in the 50 to 350 MHz band,
these astonishing dimensions offer intriguing capabilities
for the detection of extensive air showers. While SKA will
play a leading role in high-precision cosmic ray
measurements, it may also play a role in gamma-ray
astronomy. The particle cascade initiated by a gamma ray
impacting on the Earth's atmosphere will emit radio waves,
comparable to the emission observed from hadronically
induced air showers. The energy threshold of current
radio-air-shower experiments of tens to hundreds of PeV has
limited those experiments to cosmic-ray science so far. With
the interferometric measurement of air showers combining the
coherent air-shower signals from thousands of individual
antennas, we aim at lowering the energy threshold for the
radio detection of air showers to PeV energies. The superior
angular resolution of SKA may provide a way to both trigger
on gamma-rays and separate them from hadronic cosmic rays.
SKA’s field of view of the Galactic Center provides a
unique opportunity of obtaining a first detection at PeV
energies. This contribution will sketch the challenges of as
well as the necessary steps needed for gamma-ray detection
with SKA and will highlight the scientific impact.},
