Spatial distribution of ?erenkov light from extensive air showers

The spatial distribution function of Čerenkov radiation from particles of extensive air showers with energies in the interval 10¹²–10¹⁷ eV calculated by the computer code CORSIKA and the approximation constructed on the basis of this calculation have allowed us to reconstruct the events, that is, to reconstruct the type and energy of the particle that generated extensive air shower from signal amplitudes of Čerenkov light registered with the Tunka-25 facility. The calculated spatial distribution function of Čerenkov light is in good agreement with the fitting function constructed in 1–4] to reconstruct the parameters of extensive air showers registered with the Tunka-25 facility. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 7, pp. 43–48, July, 2006.
