Abstract

The corrected dependence of the mean depth of the EAS maximum Xmax on the energy was obtained from the data of the Tunka-133 array for 7 years and the TAIGA-HiSCORE array for 2 years. The parameter lnA, characterizing the mean mass compositon was derived from these results. The differential energy spectrum of primary cosmic rays in the energy range of 2101421016 eV was reconstructed using the new parameter Q100 the Cherenkov light flux at the core distance 100 m. Change of the parameter for the energy reconstuction for the TAIGA-HiSCORE from Q200 to Q100 provides a decreasing energy threshold for the spectrum to about 200 TeV.
