  2. EAS Inverse Problem Detected EAS size spectra X=d2F/dNedNm Unknown primary energy spectra; A  H, He,…,Fe Kernel function {A,E}  X The problem of uniqueness Let NA=1 andf(E)is a solution. Then f(E)+g(E) is also a solution if onlyW(E,X) g(E) dE << F(X) g(E) - oscillating functions

  3. Problem of uniqueness for NA>1 and Mutually compensative pseudo solutions forNA > 1 the pseudo solutions fA(E)+gA(E) exist if only WA(E,X) gA(E) dE =0(F) A - WA(E,X) gA(E) dE =  WA(E,X) gA(E) dE + 0(F) k mk NA nc=C NA number of possible combinations of pseudo functions: j j=2 at NA=5, nc=26

  12. CONCLUSION GAMMA Experiment • The results show that the pseudo solutions with mutually compensative effects exist and belong to all families – linear, non-linear and even singular in logarithmic scale. • The mutually compensative pseudo solutions is practically impossible to avoid at NA>1. The significance of the pseudo solutions in mostcases exceeds the significance of the evaluatedprimary energyspectra. • All-particle energy spectrum are indifferent toward the pseudo solutions of elemental spectra. To decrease the contributions of the mutually compensative pseudo solutions one may apply a parameterization of EAS inverse problem using a priori (expected from theories)known primary energy spectra with a set of free spectralparameters. Just this approach was used in the GAMMA experiment.
