Studying Characteristics of the Neutron Component of Extensive Air Showers Using Data from the URAN Array

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The URAN array operates as part of the NEVOD experimental complex for studying the hadron component of extensive air showers by recording the neutrons that accompany a shower. The first results are presented from studying characteristics of the neutron component of extensive air showers (i.e., the lateral distribution and dependence of the number of neutrons on the size of a shower). The characteristics were recorded by the URAN array in 2019.
