Energy Spectra and Elemental Composition of Nuclei above 100 TeV from a Series of the JACEE Balloon Flight. The JACEE Collaboration

The Japanese American Cooperative Emulsion Experiments (JACEE) have recently carried out a series of Antarctic circumpolar long duration balloon flights (JACEE-10 ∼ JACEE-13) for the study of high energy elemental composition and energy spectra of cosmic ray particles. The total exposure factor of t...

Description
Summary:The Japanese American Cooperative Emulsion Experiments (JACEE) have recently carried out a series of Antarctic circumpolar long duration balloon flights (JACEE-10 ∼ JACEE-13) for the study of high energy elemental composition and energy spectra of cosmic ray particles. The total exposure factor of these experiments is 664 m 2 hr, which corresponds to about twice
