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.

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.
