Description
The atmospheric depth $X_\mathrm{max}$ at which the particle number of an air shower
reaches its maximum is a good indicator for the mass of the
primary particle. We present a comparison of the energy evolution
of the mean of $X_\mathrm{max}$ as measured by the Telescope Array and Pierre
Auger Collaborations. After accounting for the different resolutions,
acceptances and analysis strategies of the two experiments, the
two resuls are found to be in good agreement within systematic
uncertainties.
