Scientific paper
A recent publication by Arqueros et al. (1999), of data from the HEGRA and AIROBICC extensive air shower detector complex, updates earlier work with this apparatus (by Cortina et al., 1997). Our contention (Erlykin and Wolfendale, 1998) that the position of the knee in the primary energy spectrum had been located at too low an energy has been confirmed. The results on the `fine structure' of the energy spectrum, a concept first put forward by us (Erlykin and Wolfendale, 1997 - and developed in later papers) - and on the dependence of mean primary mass on energy, are quite compatible with our predictions. Indeed, the new results give rather strong support to our hypothesis.
