Abstract
The ARGO-YBJ experiment, located in the Yangbajing Cosmic Ray observatory (4300 m a.s.l. Tibet, P.R. China), detects Extensive Air Showers in a wide energy range by means of a full-coverage detector based on RPC chambers. In this work recent results about the measurement of the combined proton and helium spectrum in the energy range 5–250 TeV are presented. The ARGO-YBJ results are therefore the first indirect measurements at these energies with ground-based detectors. The measured spectrum can be compared to direct measurements in the same energy region. The data show a good agreement with recent direct measurements and suggest that the spectrum is harder than in the low energy region.
