Istituto di Fisica Cosmica ed Applicazioni dell'Informatica del CNR, Palermo, Italia aut Interpretation of EAS observations by time-track complementarity (TTC) [Elektronische Daten] [J. Linsley] Summary: Attention is called to a time-track complementarity principle, which is shown to underlie the experimental methods used in a large class of extensive air shower (EAS) observations. A description is given of the Utah Fly's Eye, an important existing device which records both time and track information from individual EAS. In view of contemplated changes that would enable simultaneous recording of time and track information for individual EAS secondary particles in the Palermo-Leeds STAR CLUSTER array, a discussion is given, based on the TTC principle, of phenomena expected to be observed in case of small, nearby showers such as those which trigger the neighbouring GREX scintillator array. Finally, an application of small arrays made of time-track detectors is described, in a mode resembling operation of the Fly's Eye, suggesting that such arrays may have better performance at lower cost than existing alternatives, for the purpose of studying <<giant>> EAS, with energy >(1018÷1019) eV.
