Description

Results of the study of primary cosmic ray flux features in the energy range 1015 - 1018 eV by means of the spectra of local density of muons at Experimental complex NEVOD-DECOR are presented. Experimental distributions and spectra obtained on the basis of muon LDFs calculated with CORSIKA code are compared. Possibilities of a new technique of event analysis based on the estimator of effective primary energy for CR flux characteristics study are discussed. (authors)
