Abstract

Charge composition of cosmic-ray nuclei from neon to iron has been studied in a stack of cellulose nitrate plastic detectors exposed in a balloon flight over Fort Churchill. 401 cosmic-ray nuclei of 10≤Z≤26 stopping in the detector system have been analysed. Fluxes of individual nuclei have been extrapolated to the top of the atmosphere. Relative abundances, obtained from these fluxes, have been compared with those obtained by other investigators.
