Description

The phenomenological characteristics of the electron and muon components of extensive air showers with the range 105≤Ne≤107 are obtained from the GAMMA installation of the ANI experiment at Mt Aragats in Armenia at an observation level of 700 g cm-2. The experimental results are compared with other experiments and with the simulation carried out using the CORSIKA code and ARES package. (author)
