A possible explanation of the knee of cosmic light component spectrum from 100 TeV to 3 PeV

Wen-Hui Lin, Bi-Wen Bao, Ze-Jun Jiang +1

The mixed Hydrogen and Helium (H + He) spectrum with a clear steepening at $\sim 700$ TeV has been detected by ARGO-YBJ experiments. In this paper, we demonstrate that the observed…
