Zusammenfassung:Characteristics of the hadronic component of exstensive air shower (EAS) trunks are investigated at the CARPET-2 array of the Baksan Neutrino Observatory, Institute for Nuclear Research, Russian Academy of Sciences. In this work, we study showers with axes that located within its muon detector (MD). We discuss the procedure for selecting such showers in our experiment. The relationship between the number of thermal neutrons detected by heat detectors installed in the muon detector’s tunnel and the total energy of a cascade generated by hadrons in the magnetic detector’s absorbent matter is presented.
