On the High Energy Proton Spectrum Measurements
Abstract
The steepening of the proton spectrum beyond 1000 GeV and the rise in inelastic cross sections between 20 and 600 GeV observed by the PROTON 1-2-3 satellite experiments may be explained by systematic effects of energy dependent albedo (back-scatter) from the calorimeter.
