Abstract
In this article, it is shown that the $C_k$ and $LCm$ variables, recently introduced as an effective way to discriminate gamma and proton-induced showers in large wide-field gamma-ray observatories, can be generalised to be used in arrays of different detectors and variable fill factors. In particular, the $C_k$ profile discrimination capabilities are evaluated for scintillator and water Cherenkov detector arrays.
