Abstract
The ARGO-YBJ experiment, currently under construction at the YangBaJing High Altitude Cosmic Ray Laboratory (Tibet, P.R. China, 4300 m a.s.l.), may be upgraded with a large muon detector (~ 2500 m2) both to extend the sensitivity to γ-ray sources to energies ≥ 20 TeV and to perform a cosmic ray primary composition study. In this paper we discuss the capability of the upgraded ARGO-YBJ detector to select the primary cosmic ray light component in the knee energy region.
