Abstract content
Knowing the exact energy of the second knee and which is the dominant composition is important for the astrophysics of high energies in the range of 10 ^ 17.5 eV to 10 ^ 19 eV, because the transition galactic to extragalactic components of cosmic rays flow could be happening in this range; that is why this work focuses on the analysis of data from the Pierre Auger Observatory extensions: Infill and HEAT, likewise we talk of the great possibility to do these studies at observatory under construction: CHARM, located in the “Parque Nacional Pico de Orizaba Veracruz Mexico” to 4323 m.a.s.l.
