“…One of the main problems in cosmic ray physics is measurement of partial spectra from primary cosmic rays (PCR). PCR particles with energies of up to 10 15 eV can be detected by direct methods using detectors mounted on satellites [1] and high altitude balloons [2]. The intensity of ultra high energy particles (above 10 15 eV) is so low that all measurements at such energies are currently carried out by indirect methods based on the characteristics of extensive air showers (EASs).…”

Cherenkov light lateral distribution function approximation that describes an individual extensive air shower was found. It is designed for showers from various primary nuclei in the 1-100 PeV energy range with zenith angles up to 20 • and distances from the shower axis of up to 500 meters. Approximation accuracy is better than 10%. Initially, the approximation was intended for processing events of the SPHERE-2 experiment, but it can also be applied to any other experiment that uses the Cherenkov light lateral distribution function at the ground level. A comparison was made with simpler approximating functions used in the SPHERE-2 processing and in the TAIGA experiment. *** 27th European Cosmic Ray Symposium -ECRS *** *** 25-29 July 2022 *** *** Nĳmegen, the Netherlands *** * Speaker
