Abstract

The paper is devoted to the results of the EAS neutron component investigations by means of the PRISMA-32 array. The array consists of 32 en-detectors and enables to record delayed thermal neutrons accompanying showers. For registration of thermal neutrons, the scintillator based on $^{6}Li$ isotope as a target is used in the detectors. Some results of the processing of data accumulated over a long period of time are presented: the lateral distribution function of neutrons in EAS and preliminary results on EAS neutron multiplicity spectrum and distribution of showers in e/n ratio.
