Abstract

Abstract: The analysis of spatial distribution of Cherenkov light generated by cascade showers in Cherenkov water detector (CWD) NEVOD was performed. Showers generated by nearly horizontal muons were selected. Muons tracks were reconstructed with high precision using the coordinate tracking detector DECOR. For the first time, the dependence of Cherenkov light intensity on the depth of a shower at different distances from its axis was measured.
