Abstract

Using the EAS size spectra measured with the MAKET ANI array on Mt. Aragats, Armenia (3200m a.s.l.) in the range of the shower size 105 - 107 for different angles-of-incidence, the EAS attenuation length has been determined applying different analysis methods. The analysis is based on a data sample of 2.5*106 events collected in the period of June, 97 - April, 99. The results are compared with results deduced from data of the EAS TOP and KASCADE experiments.
