Title Evidence for changing of cosmic ray composition between 10(17) and 10(18) eV from multicomponent measurements
Date 2000
Description The average mass composition of cosmic rays with primary energies between 1017 and 1018 eV has been studied using a hybrid detector consisting of the High Resolution Fly's Eye (HiRes) prototype and the MIA muon array. Measurements have been made of the change in the depth of shower maximum and the muon density as a function of energy. The results show that the composition is changing from a heavy to lighter mix as the energy increases.
