| Abstract: | The first experimental results on a new EAS observable, the local muon density spectra measured with a large area coordinate detector DECOR in a wide range of zenith angles, are presented. These data correspond to the interval of primary particle energies from 1015 to 1018 eV. Some features of local muon density phenomenology are considered on the basis of an analytical model. Expected distributions of the events in the muon density have been calculated by means of the CORSIKA code and compared with experimental data. The text was submitted by the authors in English. |
