Abstract
This review concerns itself with papers on four subjects from HE 3.1, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 sessions. The subjects include 1. Shower front fluctuations with applications to mini-arrays. 2. Cherenkov Light and shower front timing differences for photon and proton initiated EAS. 3. The detection of ultra-high energy EAS by very low frequency (VLF) radio signals. 4. Properties of EAS at greater than PeV energy. These include the study of electron, muon, and Cherenkov light lateral distribution functions, the average Xm x dependence on energy, and the value of the proton-air total inelastic cross-section.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.

Findings are not separately available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Limitations are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
