Abstract
The recent discovery of PeV gamma-ray emission especially from the LHAASO observatory, located in the Northern hemisphere, boosted the relevance of observing the Southern sky at such
energies. SWGO (SouthernWide-Field Gamma-Ray Observatory) is the largest proposed detector with sensitivity in the 100 TeV-1 PeV energy range. The baseline SWGO idea is a km^2 array of water tanks to be placed above 4,400ma.s.l. in the Andes, South America. In this contribution, we have studied the particle content and the morphology of Extensive Air Showers (EAS) generated by photons and protons in the 0.1 to 10 PeV energy range. We have simulated over 106 gamma-rays and proton induced showers respectively with primary energy in the 0.1-10 PeV energy range. We also show the particle distribution at ground, the lateral profile, the muon content and the average particle properties at ground.
