Resumo

In the context of air shower simulations, thinning techniques are employed to reduce computational time and storage requirements. These techniques are tailored to preserve locally mean quantities during shower development, such as the average number of particles in a given atmosphere layer, and to not induce systematic shifts in shower observables, such as the depth of shower maximum. In this work we investigate thinning effects on the determination of the depth in which the shower has a maximum muon production (X-max(mu-sim)). We show preliminary results in which the thinning factor and maximum thinning weight might influence the determination of (X-max(mu-sim)). (AU)
