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.
