Some of the main features of the new generation Trasgo detectors are theircapability in measuring the incoming direction and the arrival time ofsecondary cosmic particles. They also offer the identification capabilitybetween muon and electrons and a rough calorimetry for electrons. Usingground-based stations, these properties allow for the development of new toolsfor the measurement of primary cosmic ray fluxes. In order to verify andquantify the suitability of Trasgo detectors, whether a single one or arrays ofthem, to provide reliable information of the properties (mass, energy, incomingdirection) of primary cosmic rays we have started an initiative for thesystematic study of the 'lateral distributions' displayed by electrons andmuons, or by bundles of those particles, using MonteCarlo simulations. In afirst approach, electrons and muons were produced in vertical showers fromprimary H, He, C and Fe nuclei, and with incoming energies limited to a maximumof 10$^{15}$ eV per nucleon. This choice represents a significant component ofall secondary particles, which can be measured on Earth's surface. The lateraldistributions study has been done at the two locations of Santiago deCompostela (Spain) and Livingston Island (Antarctica), where Trasgo detectorsare either in operation, or will be operative in the near future.
