Abstract

The EAS Cherenkov light array Tunka-133, with \sim 3 km2^2 geometric area, is taking data since 2009.The array permits a detailed study of energy spectrum and mass composition of cosmic rays in the energy range from 610156\cdot 10^{15} to 101810^{18} eV. We describe the methods of time and amplitude calibration of the array and the methods of EAS parameters reconstruction. We present the all-particle energy spectrum, based on 7 seasons of operation.
