Аннотация:New results on measuring the spectrum of the light component (protons + helium) of cosmic rays in the classical knee region in the primary cosmic ray spectrum at energies of ∼200–20000 are presented. The results were obtained from hybrid data of the TAIGA experiment in which Cherenkov light of the shower is recorded simultaneously by two (IACT + HiSCORE) facilities. The showers are separated from the light component for the first time using image parameters recorded by the IACT atmospheric image telescope. The developed approach to separation of the light component is based on and confirmed by Monte Carlo calculations. In the obtained spectrum of the light component in the energy range of 200–20000 TeV, a pronounced knee is observed at an energy of about 3 PeV.
