All-particle spectrum measured by ATIC-1
The Advanced Thin Ionization Calorimeter (ATIC), a balloon-borne experiment, is designed to investigate the composition and energy spectra of cosmic rays of charge Z = 1 to 26 over the energy range 1011 - 1014 eV. The instrument consists of a silicon matrix charge detector, plastic scintillator stri...
