Abstract

The Cosmic Ray Nuclei Experiment flown on the Spacelab-II mission was designed to measure the elemental composition of individual cosmic ray nuclei (Li to Ni) from 40 Gev/amu to several TeV/amu. The detector utilizes plastic scintillation counters for charge measurement, and gas Cerenkov and transition radiation detectors for energy measurements. The data analysis is in progress and results on the energy spectra are expected in the near future.
