Composition of Cosmic Rays with the Energy more than 4x1019 eV
Abstract
Arrival directions of extensive air showers by using world data are considered. It is found that the shower distribution in zenith angle at the energies E>1019 eV and E>4x1019 eV differs from each other. By our estimations, the shower with E>1020 eV at the Sugar array was not registered. The mass composition of very high-energy cosmic rays has been estimated. It is shown that E>4x1019 eV cosmic rays are, most likely, super heavy nuclei with charge Z>26.
