Energy evolution of the primary fractions (top panels) and evolution of differential fluxes of individual primary species as functions of energy (middle panels) and rigidity (bottom panels) using QGSJET II-04 + ΔXmax (left panels) and SIBYLL 2.3d + ΔXmax (right panels). The primary fractions were obtained by fitting the Auger Xmax distributions (A. Aab et al. 2014a), while the total differential flux of cosmic rays was taken from A. Aab et al. (2020b). The two types of parameterized energy evolution of the primary fractions, see Section 3, are represented using dashed and solid lines in the panels.
