UHE nuclei propagation and the interpretation of the ankle in the cosmic-ray spectrum (2005, background): “…conclusion has recently been proposed on the basis of composition results from the HiRes Collaboration,te - tatively showing a transition from heavy to light primary nuclei at an energy around 5 1017 eV (Abbasi et al. 2005), which can be identified with asecond knee feature in the spectrum.”
Study of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray composition using Telescope Array’s Middle Drum detector and surface array in hybrid mode (2014, methodology): “The effect of night-to-night variations of the VAOD, as determined by Lidar data, has been previously studied [30].”
Cosmological Magnetic Fields: Their Generation, Evolution and Observation (2013, methodology): “If the proton-dominated composition persists until the 1020 eV energy band (Abbasi et al 2005), a suppression of the UHECR flux due to the interactions of high-energy protons with the CMB photons, known as the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) cutoff (Greisen 1966; Zatsepin and Kuz’min 1966) is…”
Cosmogenic neutrinos: parameter space and detectabilty from PeV to ZeV (2010, background): “Measurements prior to the Pierre Auger Observatory indicated an increasingly lighter composition above E ∼ 1017 eV (Bird et al., 1993; Shinozaki and et al., 2005; Abu-Zayyad et al., 2000; Abbasi et al., 2005, 2010a).”
