Galactic Cosmic-Ray Composition and Spectra for Ne through Cu from 0.8 to 10 GeV/nuc with the SuperTIGER Instrument
SuperTIGER (Trans-Iron Galactic Element Recorder) is a large-area balloon-borne instrument built to measure the galactic cosmic-ray abundances of elements from Z=10 (Ne) through Z=56 (Ba) at energies from 0.8 to ~10 GeV/nuc. SuperTIGER successfully flew around Antarctica for a record-breaking 55 day...
