The Tibet hybrid experiment composed of emulsion chambers, burst detectors and the Tibet-II air-shower array was done at Yangbajing (4,300m above sea level, 606 g/cm²) in Tibet. For 3-year operation, we have observed 177 γ-families (Σ_Eγ > 20 TeV) accompanying air showers with the shower size N_e > 2 × 105. Using this data set and a neural network method to select proton and helium induced events, the primary proton and helium energy spectra are deduced between 10¹⁵ and 10¹⁶eV. The proton spectrum, thus obtained, can be expressed by a single power-law function with a differential index of -3.01±0.11 and -3.05±0.12 based on the QGSJET+HD and SIBYLL+HD models, respectively, which are steeper than that extrapolated from the direct observations of -2.74±0.01 in the energy range below 1014 eV. Our result suggests that the main component responsible for making the knee structure of the all-particle spectrum should be composed of nuclei heavier than helium.
