摘要：
The average extensive air shower longitudinal development profile is measured. Events between 10(17) and 10(18) eV recorded by the HiRes/MIA hybrid experiment are used for the average profile. Several functional forms are examined using this average profile. The best-fit parameters for the above functions are determined. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
