Abstract

We describe the possibly measurable difference in the Cherenkov light component of EAS induced by an electromagnetic particle (e+, e- or gamma) and induced by a hadron (i.e. proton or heavier nuclei) in TeV range. The method can be applied in experiments which use wavefront sampling method of EAS Cherenkov light detection (e.g. THEMISTOCLE, ASGAT).
