Abstract content
Lateral distributions of electromagnetic component in extensive air showers at different zenith angles measured with the Tibet-III air shower array are compared with Monte Carlo simulations based on the interaction models of QGSJET01c and SIBYLL2.1 taking into account of the detector configurations. In this paper, we discuss the sensitivity of the lateral distribution of the electromagnetic component to the chemical composition of the cosmic rays and also to the hadronic interaction models.
