With five parameters which can efficiently pick out primary proton induced showers as inputs of an artificial neural network, the proton Spectrum from 100 TeV to 10 PeV can be obtained.展开更多

The Hydrogen and Helium nuclei have been well separated from other cosmic ray components by using a multi-parameter technique. A highly uniform energy resolution of about 25% is achieved throughout the whole energy range （100-700 TeV）. The observed energy spectrum is compatible with a single power law with index γ=-2.63±0.06.展开更多

We try to reconcile the knee spectra measured by ARGO-YBJ and Tibet-III. A simple broken power-law model fails to explain the experimental data. Therefore a modified broken power-law model with non-linear acceleration effects is adopted, which can describe the sharp knee structure. This model predicts that heavy elements dominate at the knee.展开更多

One of the main scientific objectives of LHAASO is to precisely measure the cosmic rays energy spectrum of individual components from 10^14 eV to 10^18 eV. The hybrid observation will be employed by the LHAASO experiment, in which the lateral and longitudinal distributions of extensive air shower can be observed simultaneously. Thus, many kinds of parameters can be used for primary nuclei identification. In this paper, high purity cosmic ray simulation samples of the light nuclei component are obtained using multi-variable analysis. The apertures of 1/4 LHAASO array for pure proton and mixed proton and helium(H&He) samples are 900 m^2 Sr and1800 m^2 Sr, respectively. Prospect of obtaining proton and H&He spectra from 100 TeV to 4 PeV is discussed.展开更多
