Energy spectra of abundant cosmic-ray nuclei in the NUCLEON experiment

The NUCLEON satellite experiment is designed to directly investigate the energy spectra of cosmic-ray nuclei and the chemical composition (Z = 1-30) in the energy range of 2-500 TeV. The experimental results are presented, including the energy spectra of different abundant nuclei measured using the new Kinematic Lightweight Energy Meter (KLEM) technique. The primary energy is reconstructed by registration of spatial density of the secondary particles. The particles are generated by the first hadronic inelastic interaction in a carbon target. Then additional particles are produced in a thin tungsten converter, by electromagnetic and hadronic interactions. The deconvolution of spectra was performed. Statistical errors were presented.
