Abstract
On the basis of the Extensive Air Shower data observed by the GAMMA experiment the energy spectra and elemental composition of the primary cosmic rays have been derived in the 1-100 PeV energy range. Reconstruction of the primary energy spectra is carried out in the framework of the SIBYLL and QGSJET interaction models and the hypothesis of the power-law steepening primary energy spectra. All presented results are derived taking into account the detector response, reconstruction uncertainties of EAS parameters and fluctuation of EAS development.
