Cosmic Ray Measurements with the HEGRA Cherenkov Telescopes — •Jens Kettler — MPI f. Kernphysik, Saupfercheckweg 1, 69117 Heidelberg

We use data from the HEGRA system of Cherenkov Telescopes to determine the composition of cosmic rays in the TeV energy range. Comparing the image parameter distributions for data and our Monte Carlo model assuming different compositions and spectra gives also information about the sensitivity of this type of experiment for CR measurements.
