Energy Spectra of Heavy Cosmic Ray Nuclei from 0.5 GeV/amu to 10,000 GeV/amu
We present new results on the energy spectra of cosmic ray nuclei which are derived from the long-duration balloon flight of the TRACER detector in Antarctica in December, 2003. The measurements are corrected for detection efficiencies, interaction losses in the atmosphere and in the instrument, and...

We present new results on the energy spectra of cosmic ray nuclei which are derived from the long-duration balloon flight of the TRACER detector in Antarctica in December, 2003.
