Abstract
The kilometer-square array (KM2A) of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO, located at 4410 m above sea level with an atmospheric depth of 600 g/cm$^2$) can simultaneously measure air shower sizes of both electromagnetic particles and muon contents with high precision for cosmic rays with energies in the knee region. The energy is reconstructed by combining parameters of muons and electromagnetic particles, which is weakly dependent on the mass composition of cosmic rays. We study the measurement method of the all particle spectrum and mean logarithmic mass through the simulation data, and discuss the corresponding systematic errors.
