HEAVY NUCLEI IN SOLAR COSMIC RAYS

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Letters
The spectra of nuclei with 1 < Z < 18 in a solar cosmic radiation event were measured. The event occurred at 2100 U. T. Sept. 3, 1960; it was caused by a solar flare at 0040 U. T. Emulsion data from a Nike-Cajun sounding rocket, which was fired at 1408 U. T. and reached an altitude of 130 km, were presented. A range and delta -ray analysis of these data yields the charge and rigidity of the nuclei. (T.F.H.)
