Counting the number of secondary particles in distribution of extensive air showers

Analyzing the lateral development of extensive air showers is an approach of importance in the realm of high energy cosmic rays. Simulating the showers via CORSIKA provides different invaluable data to study. Electron density as a function of distance to shower core in ۱۰ steps and ۸ directions from shower core is given in CORSIKA output per generated shower. DAT outputs contain lots of information about lateral distribution of secondaries however, using their data is not straightforward. In this paper, lateral distribution of secondaries from DAT files has been used to represent as a way of counting secondary particles via Python at any desired distance to shower core and all directions. It can be a beneficial approach to obtain lateral density of different secondary particles as a function of radius.
