Scientific paper

The authors present a progress report on their attempts to determine the composition of cosmic rays in the knee region of the energy spectrum. They have used three different devices to measure properties of the extensive air showers produced by primary cosmic rays: the Soudan 2 underground detector measures the muon flux deep underground, a proportional tube array samples shower density at the surface of the earth, and a Cherenkov array observes light produced high in the atmosphere. The authors have begun maximum likelihood fits to these measurements with the hope of determining the nuclear mass number A on an event by event basis.
