摘要:

本文根据伽玛实验获得的广泛空气簇射(EAS)数据,导出了1-100 PeV能量范围内初级宇宙射线的能谱和元素组成。在SIBYLL2.1和QGSJET 01相互作用模型的框架下,基于幂律初级能谱与刚度相关的假设,采用EAS逆方法重建了初级能谱。用SIBYLL相互作用模型得到的原始H、He、类O和类Fe核的能谱与气球和卫星数据外推到~1 PeV能量的结果一致。从QGSJET模型得到的能谱显示在膝盖区域的主要质子组成。每种相互作用模型的一次能谱的刚度相关膝关节特征显示在以下刚度:~2.5+/-0.2 PV(SIBYLL)和~3.1-4.2 PV(QGSJET)。所有的结果得出考虑到检测器的响应,重建的EAS参数的不确定性,和波动的EAS发展。

英文摘要:

On the basis of the extensive air shower (EAS) data obtained by the GAMMA experiment, the energy spectra and elemental composition of the primary cosmic rays are derived in the 1-100 PeV energy range. The reconstruction of the primary energy spectra is carried out using an EAS inverse approach in the framework of the SIBYLL2.1 and QGSJET01 interaction models and the hypothesis of power-law primary energy spectra with rigidity-dependent knees. The energy spectra of primary H, He, O-like and Fe-like nuclei obtained with the SIBYLL interaction model agree with corresponding extrapolations of the balloon and satellite data to ~1 PeV energies. The energy spectra obtained from the QGSJET model show a predominantly proton composition in the knee region. The rigidity-dependent knee feature of the primary energy spectra for each interaction model is displayed at the following rigidities: ~2.5+/-0.2 PV (SIBYLL) and ~3.1-4.2 PV (QGSJET). All the results presented are derived taking into account the detector response, the reconstruction uncertainties of the EAS parameters, and fluctuations in the EAS development.
