Description

Results are presented on the average longitudinal development curves, the size spectrum at the maximum development in the size region 5 x 106 < N < 3 x 109 of EAS and the energy spectrum of primary cosmic rays with energies 5 x 1016 eV to 3 x 1016 eV. This energy spectrum is compared with the energy spectrum obtained by the Sydney group and an interpretation of the discrepancy is described. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Es wurden Ergebnisse als mittlere Kurven einer Longitudinalentwicklung, als Entwicklung des Teilchenspektrums im Bereich 5 x 106 < N < 3 x 109 der EAS und als Spektrum der primaeren kosmischen Energie mit 5 x 1016 bis 3 x 1018 eV mitgeteilt. Dieses Energiespektrum wird mit dem von der Sydney-Gruppe mitgeteiltem verglichen, die Abweichungen werden diskutiert. (orig.)
