Abstract
The flux of charged hadrons has been measured at sea level with an iron calorimeter of depth 960 g cm-2; the geometric factor was about 0.7 m2 sr. The total running time was 1.6*106 s. An upper limit to the flux of all hadrons has been obtained in the energy range 500<E<10000 GeV. It does not support the observation of a 'step' in the spectrum at about 3000 GeV.Keywords
