Description
The time structure of atmospheric Cherenkov light has been measured by narrow-angle detectors in extensive air showers with a time resolution of 0.15 ns. From comparison with particle density observations in the same showers it is deduced that the temporal shape is a measure of the lateral structure of the particle shower disc rather than of the longitudinal shower development.
