Abstract

We present new results for radial scale factors, R0, of the lateral distribution function of extensive air shower electrons. It is shown that difficulties in the direct experimental estimation of R0 are no bar to primary mass composition deduction with weak sensitivity to hadronic interaction model implemented in calculations. Possibilities for more effective primary particles separation based on multi-component analysis are discussed.
