Abstract:
A multilevel scheme for calculating estimates of the energy of extensive air showers on the basis of signals in different detectors is considered. The numerical energy estimates at specified values of signals in scintillation detectors are smaller than the experimental ones by a factor of about 1.6. The results of the calculation confirmed that the total flux of Cherenkov light is proportional to the shower energy. The flux of fluorescent light generated within 100 m from the shower core is due to only 60% of the total energy.
