Abstract
We present evidence for a dependence of the average deep underground m uon energies on shower size in the coincident EAS-TOP and LVD data at the Gran Sasso laboratories. The measured relation agrees with a mixed chemical composition of the cosmic ray primary spectrum at energies a round 10(15) eV. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
