Events between 10<sup>17</sup> and 10<sup>18</sup> 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. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.enA measurement of the average longitudinal development profile of cosmic ray air showers between 10¹⁷ and 10¹⁸ eVA measurement of the average longitudinal development profile of cosmic ray air showers between 10(17) and 10(18) eVJournal article002001040710.1016/S0927-6505(00)00170-50001710635000012-s2.0-1804440307062045Clay, R.
