Properties of Extensive Air Showers

Published 2004-02-12Version 1

Some general properties of extensive air showers are discussed. The main focus is put on the longitudinal development, in particular the energy flow, and on the lateral distribution of different air shower components. The intention of the paper is to provide a basic introduction to the subject rather than a comprehensive review.
