Abstract: (IOP)
Size spectra of electrons (Ne) and muons (Nmu ) are obtained from the Akeno extensive air-shower experiment. The primary spectrum estimated from each spectrum is the same and is expressed by J(E0)dE0(4.0-5.0)*10-23(E0/1015.67)- gamma dE0 m-2 s-1 sr-1 where gamma =2.62+or-0.12 below and gamma =3.02+or-0.05 above 1015.67 eV. There is no other significant change of slope in either the electron or the muon size spectrum beyond the corresponding energy 1015.67 eV.
