Scientific paper

An analysis is made of a variety of cosmic ray data from the standpoint of making a ``best estimate'' of the mean logarithm of the primary cosmic ray mass () in the energy range 10^5-10^8 GeV. Reassuringly, the values of join on well to the results of direct measurements at lower energies. There is also some modest support for our hypothesis of there having been a local, recent supernova. A by-product is the identification from five contenders of the best model of nuclear interactions of high energy (~10^6 GeV), although much remains to be done in this area.
