Measurement of heavy cosmic-ray nuclei on LDEF (M0002-2)
Abstract
The objective of this experiment is to measure the elemental and isotopic abundamces of heavy cosmic-ray nuclei with nuclear charge Z equal to or greater than 3. The chemical and energy spectra will be measured for particles that have energies in the range from 20 to 1000 MeV per atomic mass unit. Two points of great interest are geomagneticaly forbidden cosmic-ray particles and heavy ions of the trapped radiation.
