Abstract
The results of the simulation of cascade radio emission from ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays in the LORD lunar experiment using circularly polarized antennas are presented. It is shown that based on the characteristics of radio emission caused by cascades from protons and iron nuclei in lunar regolith and escaped into vacuum it is impossible to distinguish these cascades in the primary energy region above 1020 eV.
