Description
The all-particle spectrum of cosmic rays follows roughly a steep power law. At a few times $10^{15}$ eV the spectral index of the power law changes, this is called the "knee" in the literature. Experimental results of cosmic-ray measurements in the knee region will be reviewed. Implications on our understanding of cosmic rays, their origin, and physics of propagation will be discussed.
