Treatment of inclined EAS data from surface arrays and GZK prediction
• The spectrum from surface array has to be corrected from the overestimation of the primary energy between 10°-35° in the last decade
• the amended spectrum of AGASA (ISVHECRI aug. 06) is progressing in this direction
• The overestimation in AGASA data was coming up to 50% (in reason of the maximum depth given by AUGER) of the special properties of 3D Electromagnetic cascade near maximum
• It could be more for a pure proton component and less in case of a heavy composition

ConclusionsConclusions The primary energy measured in giant surface arrays may be
overestimated in two steps.:
1/ conversion of inclined density S600 to vertical density of reference without taking into account the behavahiour of the estimator versus zenith angle when the maximum depth is close of the level of the array
2/ conversion of the vertical density to the primary energy without taking into account the statistical disturbances generated by a knee in the differential primary spectrum
When corrected for both procedures, AGASA data reflects a GZK behaviour of the primary energy spectrum of cosmic rays in agreement with HIRES and AUGER.
