The Energy Spectrum of Charged Cosmic Rays between 1014 eV and 1016 eV determined with the HEGRA Arrays
Abstract
ˇ The HEGRA scintillator and Cerenkov light counters (AIROBICC) allow to determine the energy and coarse chemical composition of charged cosmic rays in the energy range between 1014 eV and 1016 eV. The measured quantities at ground level can be used to estimate the primary energy either by a primary mass dependent or independent method. Here we present and compare the energy spectra obtained with both methods.
