Lateral distribution of EAS muons measured with the KASCADE-Grande Muon Tracking Detector

The KASCADE-Grande Muon Tracking Detector (MTD) allows to measure with high accu- racy directions of EAS muons with energy above 0.8 GeV up to 700 m distance from the shower center. Lateral distribution of muon densities reflects the longitudinal development of the muonic shower component, thus comparison of experimental distri- butions from different detectors, as well as with the simulated results, allows to check the contemporary understanding of shower physics. Experimental re- sults for EAS muons above 0.8 GeV obtained for the first time with the tracking detector in a wide range of distances from the core will be shown. They will be compared with the lateral distributions of muons above 0.23 GeV, measured with KASCADE Array muon scintillation counters. Comparison with the simulation results will also be shown.
