“…Thus, according to [20], about 80% of family events detected at the Tien Shan station must be originated from interaction of cosmic ray protons and helium nuclei. Lighter composition of cosmic ray primaries in the events with families was confirmed also experimentally, by an analysis of specific properties of the showers which had accompanied such events in the HADRON experiment [28]. On the other hand, if this were true the mean number of muons N µ in the shower events selected by the presence of families should be essentially lower, but not higher, then in general.…”

“…It should be also noted that presently the information on composition of primary cosmic rays in the (1 − 100) PeV energy range is rather uncertain: in contrast to supposition on predominance of light primaries which was necessary in [28] to explain the intensity of gamma-families at the HADRON installation, heavy nuclei (Fe) should prevail at a few tens of PeV according to the measurement data and simulations of the KASCADE group [24,29]. In some other works, such as [19] or [30], the lighter composition was still claimed for the same energy range.…”
