What I learned about the shower profile
A muonic component,which arrives early and is weakly spread in time ,as the muons propagate in straight line.
An electromagnetic component is more spread in time as its propagation is more diffusive.
All airshower particles have a velocity of c however the muons travel in straight lines once created and therefore arrives first with a narrower time spread compared tothe electromagnetic component.
In the WCD(water cherenkov detector),the electron and gammas are completely converted while the vertical muons deposit approximately 240 MeV of energy.

一些概念
AGN:
Active Galactic Nucleus. The core of an active galaxy responsible for the enormous luminosity. Many contains massive black holes.
The air fluorescence yield
is defined as the number of photons produced by a charged particle
per meter of travel.

Cerenkov Light:
Light emitted by a medium when traversed by a charged subatomic particle moving with a velocity greater than the speed of light in that medium. The light is emitted in the direction of motion of the inducing particle.Extensive Air Shower
A cascade of subatomic particles in the earth's atmosphere, initiated when an energetic cosmic ray collides with an atmospheric atom or molecule.Flourescent Light
Light emitted through the excitation and ionization of atoms and molecule by high-speed charged subatomic particles. This light is emitted in all directions,unlike the beamed Cerenkov light.Ionization
The process by which an tom loses electrons. May occur when a charged high-speed subatomic particle passes through a collection of atoms.The air fluorescence yield
is defined as the number of photons produced by a charged particle
per meter of travel.

elongation rate
if you plot the different Xmax data on y with the energy on x , the slope is the elongation rate
