Resumen:
KASCADE-Grande is a ground based multi-detector experiment measuring extensive air showers in order to study the primary cosmic ray energy spectrum in the energy range from 1014 eV to 1018 eV. A Flash-ADC based data acquisition system in KASCADE-Grande allows to study the temporal structure of extensive air showers. Muons in extensive air showers are thought to arrive on average earlier than the particles of the electromagnetic shower component. The separation of electrons and muons according to their arrival times poses an alternative to the measurement of the shower muon content with muon detectors [1]. Approximately one year of KASCADE-Grande data have been analyzed to study the arrival times of the electromagnetic and the muonic shower components.
