Description
One of the scientific goals of LHAASO is to accurately measure the spectrum of cosmic rays composition, build a bridge between space-based and ground-based experiments, and propose limitations on the origin, acceleration, and propagation mechanisms of cosmic rays. LHAASO experiment measured the proton and helium energy spectrum near the “knee” region, starting the measurements from 150 TeV. Here, we use the near-vertical events of the LHAASO experiment to measure the proton and helium energy spectrum from tens of TeV to 1PeV. This promises to establish a connection between space-based and ground-based experiments, achieving continuous and coherent energy spectrum measurements, and help clarify the absolute energy scale of cosmic rays.
