Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this paper, we answer the question to what extent the particles in showers initiated by particles with energies of 10 14 – 10 17 eV observed at the edges of extensive air showers, where average particle densities are low (< a few per m 2 ), are correlated. The particle number multiplicity distributions in the surface detectors of the shower arrays are affected by the existence of such a correlation. They are well described by a negative binomial distribution rather than Poisson. Positive correlations cause the distributions to become broader and, in general, the variance of the observed particle number is larger than is usually assumed in the analysis of the shower registration by the Extensive Air Shower experiments. We show how this increase can alter the results of shower axis localisation algorithms.
