30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Measuring Cosmic Ray Composition at the Knee with SPASE-2 and AMANDA-II

Abstract: Important information pertaining to the origin of high-energy cosmic rays can be gained by studying their mass composition in the region of the knee ( ∼ 3 PeV). Thus, air showers have been ob-served at the South Pole using the SPASE-2 detector, which measures the electronic component at th...
