Abstract

In this work, the effects of the extensive air showers (EAS) were described\nby estimating the lateral distribution function (LDF) at very high energies of\nvarious cosmic ray particles. LDF was simulated for charged particles such as\nthe electron and positron pair production, gamma, muons and all charged\nparticles at very high energies 10¹6, 10¹8 and 10¹9 eV. The simulation was\nperformed using air shower simulator system (AIRES) version 2.6.0. The effect\nof primary particles, energies, thinning energy and zenith angle on the charged\nLDF particles produced in the EAS was taken into account. The comparison of the\nestimated LDF of charged particles such as the electron and positron pair\nproduction and muons with the simulated results by Sciutto and experimental\nresults by Yakutsk EAS observatory gives a good acceptance at the energy 10¹9\neV for 0 and 10 zenith angles.\n
