Abstract
In this work we discuss the advantage of combining a classical extensive air shower array with an Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope having the ability to detect Direct Cherenkov (DC) light like H.E.S.S. experiment which derived using this technique the spectrum for cosmic iron nuclei in the energy range 50-200 TeV. Such a hybrid detector will offer a unique opportunity to test the different criteria used for the identification of primary cosmic ray particles (muon electron abundance, hadron content and lateral profiles), and then to approach the elemental composition around the knee of the primary cosmic ray energy spectrum when validated criteria are extended beyond the present DC energy window.
