Air shower universality from 1014 to 1022 eV

Scaling properties of nuclei- and photon-initiated air showers are examined in wide primary energy range (1014 ÷ 1022 eV) taking into account Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal and geomagnetic field effects. It is shown that the invariance in lateral distribution and also the universal dependence between shower age and root mean square radius of electron component exist up to the highest energies. The implications of shower universality for reanalysis, crosschecking and validation of the results of different experiments together with decreasing of the influence of hadronic model uncertainties are discussed in detail.
