Energy spectrum of primary cosmic ray particles with energies of 1-100 TeV from the SOKOL instrument data
Abstract
Results of Cosmos-1543 and Cosmos-1713 experiments using Sokol instrumentation, which were carried out to study the energy spectrum and charge composition of primary cosmic rays in the energy range 1-100 TeV, are reported. The differential energy spectra of all the particles detected during the experiment are presented, as are differential and integral intensity ratios of protons to all nuclei with z equal to or less than 2. In the energy range 20-30 TeV, the fraction of protons in primary cosmic rays remains at about 40 percent.
