Mass Composition of Cosmic Rays at Ultra High Energies by Yakutsk Data

  • 1. Yu. G. Shafer Institute of Cosmophysical Research and Aeronomy SB RAS, Lenin ave. 31, Yakutsk (Russian Federation)

Description

The paper describes methods for the analysis of cosmic rays mass composition and results for over a large time span. The data were obtained at Small Cherenkov array over 20 year period of continuous observation and 40 - years of observations at the main Yakutsk array. The experimental data indicates changes in the MC in the energy range 1016 - 1018 eV which confirmed by results obtained by other EAS arrays. (paper)
