Thinning Energy Effect on the Fluctuations of Charged Particles Lateral Distribution Produced in Extensive Air Showers

In this work, the effects of the extensive air showers (EAS) were described by estimating the lateral distribution function (LDF) at very high energies of various cosmic ray particles. LDF was simulated for charged particles such as the electron and positron pair production, gamma, muons and all charged particles at very high energies 10^16, 10^18 and 10^19 eV. The simulation was performed using air shower simulator system (AIRES) version 2.6.0. The effect of primary particles, energies, thinning energy and zenith angle on the charged LDF particles produced in the EAS was taken into account. The comparison of the estimated LDF of charged particles such as the electron and positron pair production and muons with the simulated results by Sciutto and experimental results by Yakutsk EAS observatory gives a good acceptance at the energy 10^19 eV for 0 and 10 zenith angles.
