COSMIC RAY SPECTRAL STUDIES
- A new generation of experiments will investigate the acceleration mechanism(s) of primary Cosmic Rays by DIRECT measurements of :
at energies in the multi - TeV range up to the "knee" ( ? 3 1015 eV)
- Overlap will be provided with ground-based experiments that perform INDIRECT spectral measurements : the energy and the identity of the primary nucleus is inferred from the study of the shower development in the atmosphere.
