Scientific paper

The size dependence of high energy muons and the size spectrum obtained in the KGF air shower experiment suggest that the mean mass of cosmic rays remains nearly constant at ≡15 up to 5×106GeV and becomes one beyond. The composition model in which nuclei are removed at 7.5×104GeV/nucleon due to photodisintegration and the proton spectrum steepens at 6.7×106GeV due to leakage from the Galaxy, which explains the KGF data, is shown to be consistent with data from other experiments also.
