Shower Size

The lateral distribution of the muon component of extensive air showers, and the variation in the total number of muons with shower size, have been studied for showers of sizes between 3 × 105 and 108 particles. The lateral distribution function is found to be in essential agreement with Griesen's formula, and the total number of muons is found to vary smoothly with shower size, as N0.75.

Cherenkov light lateral distribution function (CLLDF) simulation was fullfiled using CORSIKA code for configurations of Tunka EAS array for different zenith angles. The parameterization of the CLLDF was carried out as a function of the destance from tehe shower core in extensive air showers (EAS) and zenith angle on the basis of the CORSIKA simulation for primary proton around the knee region with the energy 3.1015 eV at different zenith angles. The parametrized CLLDF is verified in comparison with the simulation that performed using CORSIKA code for two zenith angles.
