ROCKET OBSERVATIONS OF SLOW HEAVY PRIMARY NUCLEI AT KRONOGARD, SWEDEN,
Abstract
Small emulsion blocks recovered from a series of NikeCajun rockets launched from Kronogard, Sweden exhibit the tracks of slow heavy primary nuclei which stop by ionization in the detectors. The charge distribution of these particles, estimated from track width measurements, is consistent with a galactic origin. The kinetic energy of the particles estimated from their range resides between 60 and 570 MeV per nucleon. This preliminary experiment suggests that important information on the charge and energy spectra can be secured by exposing large areas of emulsion in geophysical sounding rockets. (Author)
