Description

We discuss the energy spectrum of the cosmic rays above 100 GeV that have been derived from measurements of balloon and satelite experiments and from air shower detection. If one uses Peters cycle to describe the spectrum it is difficult to describe with two single power laws before and after the knee. A much better fit is obtained by using more complicated shape.
