ABSTRACT: In the studies of very highly energetic cosmic ray interactions (VHECRI), the discovery of mass numbers relating to the primary nuclei firing up the atmospheric extensive air showers (EAS) is essential in understanding the nature of both VHECRI and EAS. The present study implements a simple analysis technique to determine the mass number of primary nucleus that starts the EAS cascade for processing the shower data coming from a detector height-level (~1400 m above sea level). CORSIKA 7.6900, which is the EAS-Monte Carlo generator, is used to produce detailed data on detector level and at primary.......
