The study of cosmic rays physic of 1012 -1015 primary cosmic energy is one of the main goals of ARGO-YBJ experiment. The detector, located at the Yangbajing Cosmic Ray Laboratory (Tibet, 4300 m a.s.l., 606 g/cm2), is an EAS array consisting of a continuous carpet of RPCs. The low energy threshold of the detector allows to study an energy region characterized by the transition from the direct to the indirect measurements. In this paper we will report on the measurement of the cosmic rays energy spectrum at different zenith angles. The phenomenology of horizontal air shower (> 70°) will be described and discussed.

Abstract
The study of cosmic rays physic of 1012 -1015 primary cosmic energy is one of the main goals of ARGO-YBJ experiment. The detector, located at the Yangbajing Cosmic Ray Laboratory (Tibet, 4300 m a.s.l., 606 g/cm2), is an EAS array consisting of a continuous carpet of RPCs. The low energy threshold of the detector allows to study an energy region characterized by the transition from the direct to the indirect measurements. In this paper we will report on the measurement of the cosmic rays energy spectrum at different zenith angles. The phenomenology of horizontal air shower (> 70°) will be described and discussed.
