The study of the fluctuations of various parameters of extensive air showers is considered the best means for obtaining information on the mass of primary cosmic ray particles. In the present paper, an experimental determinination of muon number and electron spatial distribution fluctuations in air showers of approximately 1,000,000 particles at sea level is presented. The experimental apparatus employed, which included scintillation counters and Geiger counters of various areas, coupled with a careful statistical analysis allowed a relatively high level of accuracy in determining shower parameters, as indicated by a Monte Carlo analysis. Results indicate that protons comprise no less than 40% of the primary particles in the showers measured.
