Abstract: (Grobid)

We have studied the density and angular distributions of Cherenkov photons inextensive air showers initiated by γ-ray and proton primaries at differentenergies and at different zenith angles. The study of this kind is important todistinguish the γ-ray initiated showers from hadronic showers by understandingthe nature of γ-ray and hadronic showers. In this work, we used CORSIKA 6.990simulation package. For the high energy hadronic interaction part, QGSJET-II andEPOS hadronic interaction models are used whereas for low energy interactionFLUKA model is used. Here we are going to report the result of this work.
