A method of observing Cherenkov light at the Yakutsk EAS array
A proposed new method for measuring the cherenkov light from extensive air showers (EAS) of cosmic rays (CR), which allows to determine not only the primary particle energy and angle of arrival, but also the parameters of the shower in the atmosphere – the maximum depth and “age”. For measurements i...
