Abstract
Measurements of the Cerenkov light pulse shape in cosmic-ray showers of energy approximately 1017-1018 eV are reported. These are interpreted with the aid of detailed computer simulations to give estimates of the mean value and fluctuations in the atmospheric depth of shower maximum. Implications for the primary mass composition and the model of hadronic interactions are discussed briefly.
