Abstract

Interest to study neutrons produced in Extensive Air Showers (EAS) is rising last years. History and recent publications on this subject are overviewed and estimated. Advantages of the method to study hadronic component being the main EAS component, as well as perspectives of the method are shown using ENDA-LHAASO project as an example.
