Abstract. Important information on the origin of high-energy Cosmic Rays can be obtained by studying their composition. In this paper a study on the elemental Cosmic Ray composition by using the lateral particle density distributions in Extensive Air Showers (EAS) is presented. EASs induced by protons, He nuclei, CNO group, NeMgSi group and Fe nuclei were simulated in the energy range 1-10000 TeV. The lateral particle density distribution was estimated, an unfolding procedure to separate the different mass groups is discussed.
