Abstract

The lateral distribution of the muon component of extensive air showers, and the variation in the total number of muons with shower size, have been studied for showers of sizes between 3 × 105 and 108 particles. The lateral distribution function is found to be in essential agreement with Griesen's formula, and the total number of muons is found to vary smoothly with shower size, as N0.75.
