Measurement of the energy spectrum of primary cosmic rays

  • 1. University of Science and Technology of China

Description

The method and arrangement determining the energy spectrum of primary cosmic rays by measuring its Cerenkov radiation are described. The integral power index γ = 1.80 +- 0.11 of the energy spectrum of primary cosmic rays was measured in the energy range of 2.9 x 1014--4.0 x 1015 eV
