RESUMO

The understanding of cosmic radiation -the production/ acceleration mechanism and the propagation processes -involves the determination of three parameters: the energy of this radiation, its arrival direction and the chemical composition. These three tasks have challenged the experience, the skill and responsibility of several groups of particle physicists over the whole world. This work refers to the primary cosmic ray composition in the scope of the Auger Collaboration. It does not intend to present a definite technique to obtain this parameter. As a matter of fact, to determine the primary composition is something difficult, considering the hadronic model dependence and the impossibi1ity (nowadays) of its description event by event. Among the several parameters used to estimate the composition, we attempted to investigate five of them: Xmax, tl0-50, t50-90, tl0-90, rlocal. They were obtained through Monte Carlo simu1ation with two different codes: CORSIKA and AIRES. The surface array was simulated by the SAMPLE program. The simu1ation results were compared, when possible, to experimental data from the Engineering Array of the Auger Observatory
