  4. Abstract:
  5. We used a method to evaluate angular accuracy for air showers direction recorded by a pentagon array of scintillation detectors. This is achieved by using the coincidences between the air showers recorded by the two sub-arrays. Also, using the CORSIKA code the angular precision of this array and the effect of inherent error on it is obtained at different energies of the primary particles and at different zenith angles. © 2020 Elsevier B.V
