Fluctuations of longitudinal development of extensive air showers and the composition of primary radiation with EΛ0>1017eV

Description

The composition of primary cosmic radiation (CR) with E >= 1017 eV is investigated using data on fluctuations of longitudinal development of extensive r showers. It is shown that the experiment rejects unambigously the presence of heavy nuclei only in the primary CR. The mixed CR composition is the closest one to the experiment in energy range E=1017-1018 eV
