Numerical study of the electron and muon lateral distribution in atmospheric showers of high energy cosmic rays

The lateral distribution of an atmospheric shower depends on the characteristics of the high energy interactions and the type of the primary particle. The influence of the primary particle in the secondary development of the shower into the atmosphere, is studied by analyzing the lateral distributio...
