Abstract
Using a scintillator air shower array to determine the direction, size, and core position of extensive air showers and a large-volume drift chamber to track individual shower particles, we have measured the angular distributions of charged particles in extensive air showers at sea level. The distributions are sharply peaked around the shower axis, with characteristic widths of a few degrees. Particles at large distances from the shower axis tend to point towards the axis as their origin. Monte Carlo models of air showers reproduce the measured distributions rather well.
