摘要
The electron and muon components of extensive air shower (EAS) with energies above 10(19) eV are analyzed via various giant EAS arrays. A varying property of showers is observed for two energy ranges; higher and lower than (3 4) x 10(19) eV. The age parameter, zenith angle, shower size dependence on muon size and shower size dependence on primary energy show an increment of mass composition (MC) above (3-4) x10(19)eV. Comparison of the observed EAS results with the simulations of Capdevielle et al. (2000) and Shinozaki et al. (2005) gives at most 20% photon fraction for primary energies above 10(19) eV. The arrival directions of showers above 4x10(19) eV indicate an increasing concentration towards the super galactic plane.
