Abstract

The spatial distributions of electrons and hadrons in extensive air showers, obtained during the PRISMA-32 experiment simulation, are considered. The experiment was simulated for primary protons and iron nuclei using the CORSIKA6.9 and GEANT4.10 software packages. The simulated spatial distribution functions of electrons and neutrons in the extensive air showers (EAS) at the Moscow altitude are compared to the published experimental data of the PRISMA-32 setup.
