Technique for reconstructing the parameters of EAS and primary cosmic rays based on experimental data of the Tunka-Grande scintillation array
The Tunka-Grande scintillation array is a part of a single TAIGA experimental complex located in the Tunka Valley, 50 km from the Lake Baikal. It consists of 19 observation stations deployed on an area of about 0.5 km2. The main aim of the Tunka-Grande facility is a detailed study of the energy spectrum and mass composition of cosmic rays in the energy range from 10 PeV to 1 EeV by detecting the charged and muon component of EAS. The article presents a method for reconstructing the parameters of the EAS and primary cosmic rays, the cosmic rays energy spectrum based on 4 measurement seasons, and compares the results obtained with the data of the Tunka-133 and TAIGA-HiSCORE Cherenkov arrays.
