Abstract
The Tunka-13 EAS array has operated two winter seasons since 1995 until 199 8 years. It consists of 13 Cherenkov light detectors based upon the QUASAR- 370 phototubes. The array covers the area 240x240 m(2) and measures the pri mary energy, derived from Cherenkov light flux, and individual lateral dist ribution functions (LDF). Good energy and angular resolution of the array p ermits to study the irregularities in energy spectrum following the classic "knee".
