Characteristics of the EAS Neutron Component Taking into Account Efficiency of Neutron Detection

A new algorithm for selecting signals caused by the detection of neutrons is described. The estimates of its effectiveness for the PRISMA-32 and URAN arrays are presented. Using this algorithm, for various air-shower sizes the number of neutrons was reconstructed, the time distributions of neutrons...

Description
Summary:A new algorithm for selecting signals caused by the detection of neutrons is described. The estimates of its effectiveness for the PRISMA-32 and URAN arrays are presented. Using this algorithm, for various air-shower sizes the number of neutrons was reconstructed, the time distributions of neutrons and their lateral distribution functions were obtained.
