英文摘要We report a measurement of the cosmic ray helium energy spectrum in the energy interval 0.16-13 PeV, derived by subtracting the proton spectrum from the light component (proton and helium) spectrum obtained with observations made by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) under a consistent energy scale. The helium spectrum shows a significant hardening centered at E similar or equal to 1.1 PeV, followed by a softening at similar to 7 PeV, indicating the appearance of a helium knee. Comparing the proton and helium spectra in the LHAASO energy range reveals some remarkable facts. In the lower part of this range, in contrast to the behavior at lower energies, the helium spectrum is significantly softer than the proton spectrum. This results in protons overtaking helium nuclei and becoming the largest cosmic ray component at E similar or equal to 0.7 PeV. A second crossing of the two spectra is observed at E similar or equal to 5 PeV, above the proton knee, when helium nuclei overtake protons to become the largest cosmic ray component again. These results have important implications for our understanding of the Galactic cosmic ray sources.
