✦ Synopsis

5. o Paulo, Brasil

T'he region of the "knee" of the cosmic ray primary spectrum (10 L~ < E0 < 1016eV) is studied in the electromagnetic and muon components of Extensive Air Showers by means of the EAS-TOP array. Independent and eorrelated analysis of the two measurements are presented as a function of zenith angle (i.e. atmospheric depth).
