Description

The report is devoted to the results of the EAS neutron component investigations by means of the PRISMA-32 setup. The setup consists of 32 en-detectors and enables to register the delayed thermal neutrons accompanying showers. For registration of thermal neutrons, the scintillator based on 6Li isotope is used in the detectors. The following results of processing of experimental data over a long period of time are presented: the temporal distributions of neutrons in EAS, the spatial distribution function of neutrons in EAS and preliminary results on the EAS neutron multiplicity spectrum.
