An extended universality of electron distributions in cosmic ray showers of high energies and its application
arXiv:1405.0819 · doi:10.1016/j.astropartphys.2014.04.003
Abstract
It is shown that the shape of any electron distribution in a high energy air shower is the same in all such showers, if taken at the same age, independently of the primary energy, mass and thus, of the interaction model.
