Abstract

We have simulated the interactions of high energy rays and protons with the terrestrial atmosphere, and studied the ground level behaviour of the distributions of secondary . The fluctuation seen in these distributions show the typical aspect of a flicker noise. We show how deconvolution of this noise leads to an improved /hadron discrimination in a simple separation scheme.
