Abstract:
Numerous experimental data on cosmic rays sensitive to the spectrum of primary cosmic rays were analyzed in the energy range $E>1\,$TeV. They proved to be incompatible with the pure power-law spectrum of primary particles. The spectral index of the proton spectrum is derived from the data considered. It was found to be $0.4\pm0.1$ greater than for the nuclei with $Z\geq2$. Therefore, the flux of galactic cosmic rays consisting of protons and nuclei with $Z\geq2$ cannot be described by a unified power law in the energy range $0.1\div10^3\,$TeV.
