Descripción
We discuss discrimination techniques and their quantitative efficiency that allow the separation of high energy electron/photon and muon primaries originated in cosmic ray extensive air showers impinging the ground. The experimental setup used in this study is detailed elsewhere in this volume (Sanchez et al.). Several approaches are analyzed, including track timing, footprint characterization and neural networks.
