A.D.Erlykin, A.W.Wolfendale: "Muons as the answer to the origin of the cosmic ray knee"

Abstract:
The Single Source Model of the knee, developed by us on the basis of the world survey of EAS data, makes certain predictions for cosmic rays of lower, sub-PeV energies. This energy region is of special interest for the CosmoLep experiment. The feasibility of the ALEPH detector to study muons in this energy region and prove or disprove our model predictions is discussed. A brief survey is made of relevant muon data from the (few) experiments carried out so far.
