Computer Science

Scientific paper

In the central detector of the KASCADE experiment a system of 32 large-area multiwire proportional chambers is able to observe muons in extensive air showers. This system allows in addition to the tracking of muons with a threshold energy of 2 GeV and the estimate of the shower direction through the mean muon direction a measurement of density distributions including the muons, secondaries produced in the absorber, and punch-throughs of high energetic hadrons. With a multifractal analysis of this density distributions a parametrisation of the lateral particle distributions is possible, especially for the core of high-energy extensive air showers. Detailed shower and detector simulations give the sensitivities of the reconstructed parameters relative to the mass of the primary particle. An analysis of first measured showers is done with an artificial neural net, trained by full simulated showers. A decrease of the light components in the primary cosmic ray composition is favoured in the energy region around 1015eV.
