摘要
The energy spectrum of cosmic Hydrogen and Helium nuclei has been measured below the so-called ＂knee＂ by using a hybrid experiment with a wide field-of-view Cherenkov telescope and the Resistive Plate Chamber （RPC） array of the ARGO-YBJ experiment at 4300 m above sea level. The Hydrogen and Helium nuclei have been well separated from other cosmic ray components by using a multi-parameter technique. A highly uniform energy resolution of about 25% is achieved throughout the whole energy range （100-700 TeV）. The observed energy spectrum is compatible with a single power law with index γ=-2.63±0.06.
