A review of experimental results at the knee

  • 1. Institute for Experimental Nuclear Physics, University of Karlsruhe, PO Box 3640, 76021 Karlsruhe (Germany)

Description

Results of experiments investigating air showers in the energy region of the knee are summarized. The all-particle energy spectrum, the mean logarithmic mass, and the average depth of the shower maximum will be discussed. Spectra for groups of elements from air shower data are compared to results from direct measurements
