Abstract

A new algorithm for selecting signals caused by the detection of neutrons is described. The estimates of itseffectiveness for the PRISMA-32 and URAN arrays are presented. Using this algorithm, for various air-shower sizes the number of neutrons was reconstructed, the time distributions of neutrons and their lateraldistribution functions were obtained.
