Abstract content

It is shown that recording of thermal neutrons accompanying the EAS with specific scintillator detectors for thermal neutron detection gives a new and very interesting additional information. Results of CORSIKA based Monte Carlo simulations as well as preliminary experimental data are presented. A new method to study Extensive Air Showers is proposed.
