Abstract
We have observed high energy gamma families and associated air showers simultaneously at Mt. Chacaltaya. Monte Carlo simulations were calcul ated for the present experimental setup. From comparisons with both re sults, mechanism of gamma family production, change of interaction mod el, study of the chemical composition are discussed.
