“…Chalenko et al (1997) have used the effective technique of the charged particles background discrimination in the atmospheric Cherenkov light detectors. Vishwanath (2002) has explained that the field of very high energy cosmic rays (like gamma ray astronomy) using the atmospheric Cherenkov technique has entered an interesting phase with the detection of various galactic and extragalactic sources.…”

The Cherenkov light Lateral Distribution Function (LDF) from particles initiated Extensive Air Showers (EAS) with ultrahigh energies (E > 10 16 eV) was simulated using CORSIKA program for configuration of Tunka and Yakutsk EAS arrays for different primary particles (p, Fe and O 2 ) and different zenith angles. By depending on the Breit-Wigner function, a parametrization of the Cherenkov light LDF was reconstructed on the basis of this simulation as a function of the primary energy. The comparison of the approximated Cherenkov light LDF with that measured on Tunka and Yakutsk EAS arrays gives the possibility of identification of energy spectrum and mass composition of particles initiating EAS about the knee region of the cosmic ray spectrum. The extrapolation of approximated Cherenkov light LDF for energies 20, 30 and 50 PeV was obtained for different primary particles and different zenith angles.
