The primary cosmic-ray energy spectrum measured with the Tunka-133 array

Abstract

The EAS Cherenkov light array Tunka-133, with $\sim$ 3 km${}^2$ geometric area, is taking data since 2009.The array permits a detailed study of energy spectrum and mass composition of cosmic rays in the energy range from $6\cdot 10^{15}$ to $10^{18}$ eV. We describe the methods of time and amplitude calibration of the array and the methods of EAS parameters reconstruction. We present the all-particle energy spectrum, based on 7 seasons of operation.
