Simulation reveals the electromagnetic aspects of extensive air showers, suggesting more efficient computational methods.
The e.m. component of Extensive Air Showers, as a sampled at a given atmospheric depht, may be considered as the superposition of sub-showers initiated by photons and electrons (positrons) mainly coming from the decay of secondary mesons. A detailed simulation of showers in atmosphere as produced by gammas and electrons has been performed by means of standard high energy physics Monte Carlo codes. We developed a set of parametrisations of these sub-showers to be included in the full simulations of Extensive Air Showers with the aim to reduce the required computer power. Comparison with previous results found in the literature are shown.
