Popis: Experimental data on the EAS muon number fluctuations obtained with the Moscow State University EAS array are analysed to derive the primary mass composition at energies before and after the knee. The mass composition before the knee ( eV) corresponds to that measured by direct methods, while the mass composition after the knee ( eV) is enriched by heavy nuclei.
