All-particle cosmic ray energy spectrum measured by the HAWC experiment from 10 to 500 TeV

Abstract

The HAWC experiment reports the first ground-based measurement of the all-particle cosmic-ray spectrum in the 10-500 TeV energy range. This data overlaps with direct measurements made by balloon-borne detectors as well as those of other higher energy air-shower detectors. This closes an important gap between these different experiments.
