Abstract. This report presents a prototype Cherenkov telescope, the observation method of Cherenkov light from extensive air showers (EAS) generated by cosmic rays (CRs) above 10 16 eV and preliminary observations. The interest in Cherenkov light differential detectors of EAS is caused by the possibility to measure the depth of the cascade maximum, X max , and/or the shower age via angular and temporal distributions of the Cherenkov signal. In particular, it was shown, using EAS model simulations, that the pulse width measured at the periphery of the shower, r > 300 m, at sea level is pronouncedly connected with X max . The Cherenkov detector is a wide-angle telescope working in coincidence with scintillation detectors, integral and differential Cherenkov detectors at the Yakutsk complex EAS.

“…In the detector of type C, three photomultipliers with a total area of 530 cm 2 were used to increase the aperture of the detector in order to detect small fluxes of photons at large distances from the shower axis. At the Yakutsk array, also differential detectors, or tracking Cherenkov detectors (obscure-camera [6] and wide field-of-view Cherenkov telescope [7]), are used to register the longitudinal development of the EAS. These are detectors with a good time resolution for measuring the flux of Cherenkov photons arriving from a narrow region in height [6].…”

The paper presents air shower data with Cherenkov radiation for the period 1994-2014. The energy interval 10 15 -10 20 eV and zenith angle θ = 0 • -55 • was considered. Dependence of average depth of maximum development of air showers on air shower energy are found. Fluctuation of X max are determined. Comparison of the experimental data with the calculations based on the QGSjetII-04 model for the primary proton and iron nuclei is presented. Mass composition of primary cosmic rays in the wide range of energies are made by interpolation.
