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.
