Their chemical composition is a key discriminator of origin models. In the present work, we estimate the average composition by an analysis of muons in air showers with AIRES+QGSJET simulation. The data matches the prediction for light hadron primaries and no indication has been found for a gamma-ray dominance.}, pages = {401--404}, title = {Chemical Composition of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays Observed by AGASA}, volume = {28}, year = {2003} }
