Study of primary cosmic ray composition from gamma ray families in air shower cores

We have observed high energy γ families and associated air showers simultaneously at Mt. Chacaltaya. Monte Carlo simulations were calculated for the present experimental setup. From comparisons with both results, mechanism of γ family production, change of interaction model, study of the chemical co...

Description
Summary:We have observed high energy γ families and associated air showers simultaneously at Mt. Chacaltaya. Monte Carlo simulations were calculated for the present experimental setup. From comparisons with both results, mechanism of γ family production, change of interaction model, study of the chemical composition are discussed.
