Extensive air shower measured parameters and the possibility to obtain the UHECR mass composition

In this paper, a slope parameter of the lateral distribution function for charged particles in EAS is considered as a possible indicator of the type of a primary particle initiating the shower. Simulation result within the frameworks of different hadron interaction models are compared to experimenta...

Description
Summary:In this paper, a slope parameter of the lateral distribution function for charged particles in EAS is considered as a possible indicator of the type of a primary particle initiating the shower. Simulation result within the frameworks of different hadron interaction models are compared to experimental results obtained at the Yakutsk EAS array. 1
