摘要：
The determination of the primary cosmic ray mass composition from the longitudinal development of atmospheric cascades is still an open problem. In this work we propose a new method of the multiparametric topological analysis and show that if both X-max - the depth of shower maximum and N-max - the number of charged particles in the shower maximum are used, reliable results can be obtained.
