Abstract:
"Thanks to recent technological development, a new generation of experiments have been developed with more sensitivity in the energy interval from 10 TeV to 1 PeV, such as HAWC. Due to its designs and high altitude, the HAWC air shower observatory can provide a bridge between the data from direct and indirect cosmic ray detectors. In 2017 the HAWC collaboration published their first results on the energy spectrum of cosmic rays, in the range from 10 to 500 TeV. This work updates these results by extending the energy interval of the measured all-particle cosmic-ray energy spectrum up to 1 PeV. The energy spectrum was obtained from the analysis of two years of HAWC's data using an unfolding method. We employed the QGSJET-II-04 model for the energy calibration and the spectrum reconstruction. The results confirm the presence of a knee like feature around 45 TeV, which was reported by the HAWC collaboration in 2017."
