Nuclear emulsions were exposed at 2.3 g cm−2 atmospheric depth over Fort Churchill in 1965. These emulsions have been examined for the tracks of multiply-charged [Formula: see text] nuclei, with emphasis being paid particularly to those particles that stopped in the emulsions. Differential energy spectra of α particles and [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]and [Formula: see text] nuclei were obtained in the energy interval 60–550 MeV/nucleon. They represent experimental results during the period when solar modulation effects were at a minimum. The fluxes of α particles and L, M, and H nuclei for energy intervals of 60–170, 100–400, 100–525, and 140–550 MeV/nucleon were found to be 20.9 ± 1.2, 2.4 ± 0.4, 4.8 ± 0.6, and 2.5 ± 0.4 particles m−2 sr−1 s−1, respectively. The results also show that the L/M and H/M ratios at the top of the atmosphere were 0.56 ± 0.16 and 0.34 ± 0.13 respectively, in the energy range from 140 to 350 MeV/nucleon. These values are appreciably greater than those observed at higher energies.

Differential Energy Spectrum

The differential energy spectrum and chemical abundance of individual elements from lithium to fluorine have been measured near minimum solar modulation (June 1965 to March 1966) in interplanetary space on the IMP-III satellite. The spectra for Li, Be, and B are found to increase with decreasing energy below ~60 MeV/nucleon. The consequences of these results on the propagation and lifetimes of cosmic-ray particles are discussed.

Relative Abundances

Primary cosmic-ray energy spectra and charge composition have been measured during the 1965 period of solar modulation minimum. A dE/dx vs. E type of scintillator–photomultiplier detector on board the eccentric-orbiting NASA spacecraft OGO-I was used. The charge composition was measured through neon over an energy range of 25 to 200 MeV/nucleon, depending upon the specific component. The spectra for all groups are nearly flat during this time, with the oxygen flux at about 0.005 nucleus/(M2-sr-s-MeV/nucleon). The relative abundances found are Li, 0.27; Be, 0.11; B, 0.37; C, 1.20; N, 0.30; O 1.00; F, [Formula: see text]; Ne, 0 12 An L/M ratio of 0.30 ± 0.06 is found.

The results of the analysis of data obtained from measurements carried out by means of regular stratospheric launchings of cosmic-ray radiosondes over the Murmansk region and the Antarctic observatory in Mirny in 1963–66 are presented. The problem of the anisotropy of the primary component of low-energy cosmic rays and of temperature effects on the cosmic-ray intensity in the atmosphere are discussed.
