Using 22 million HAWC air showers from June 2016, the authors show that a modified NKG function fits the lateral particle distribution well and that the lateral age parameter separates proton and iron simulations with a figure of merit above 1 above about 6 TeV.

abstract
I give a concise introduction into high energy cosmic ray physics, including also few related aspects of high energy gamma-ray and neutrino astrophysics. The main emphasis is placed on astrophysical questions, and the level of the presentation is kept basic.

The lateral distribution function of cosmic-ray induced air showers studied with the HAWC observatory
Using 22 million HAWC air showers from June 2016, the authors show that a modified NKG function fits the lateral particle distribution well and that the lateral age parameter separates proton and iron simulations with a figure of merit above 1 above about 6 TeV.
