Abstract
Cosmic rays interact with fields and background radiation as they propagate in space, producing particle cascades of various sizes, shapes and constituents. The potential observation of at least parts of such phenomena, referred to as cosmic-ray ensembles (CRE), from Earth would open a new channel of cosmic-ray investigation, since it might be a manifestation of fundamental symmetries of nature. Research dedicated to CRE is one of the main scientific objectives of the Cosmic-Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory (CREDO) Collaboration, and with this article we address one of the cornerstones of the relevant scientific program: the simulation method dedicated to CRE studies. Here we focus on CRE resulting from synchrotron radiation by high energy electrons as one of the most prevalent energy loss processes. Providing the example of simulation output analysis, we demonstrate the advantages of our approach as well as discuss the possibility of generalization of current research.
