Abstract
A new EAS selection method is developed for observation levels 500 les s than or equal to X(0) less than or equal to 700 g.cm(-2) and energie s 10(4) - 10(7) GeV. This gives the possibility to obtain a practicall y unbiased energy spectrum and mass composition estimation in this ene rgy interval. Specific EAS experiments placed at observation levels 50 0 - 600 g.cm(-2) are necessary in order to calibrate the indirect meth ods for obtaining the energy spectrum and mass composition of the prim ary cosmic flux at energies higher than 10(6) GeV.
