On the Problem of Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Ray Mass Composition Evaluation from Lateral Distributions of EAS Charged Particles Measured at Different Ranges of Radial Distances
Abstract:The results of the analysis of simulations of extensive air showers (EAS) generated by ultrahigh energy cosmic rays are presented. The analysis was performed within the framework of the scaling approach developed by the authors to describe the lateral distribution functions of electrons and muons of EAS. We discuss a method to evaluate the mass composition of cosmic rays from the experimental data of existing ground-based hybrid experiments with consideration of the potential of their forthcoming extensions as… Show more
