The Isotopic Composition of the Anomalous Low-energy Cosmic Rays
We present new observations of the isotopic composition of low-energy He, C, N, 0, and Ne nuclei. The observations cover the energy interval from ,...., 5 to 30 MeV per nucleon, the energy range where the "anomalous cosmic ray" fluxes of He, N, 0, and Ne have been observed. We compare the isotopic composition of the anomalous cosmic rays with that of higher-energy galactic cosmic rays in an eff...
متن کاملThe Elemental and Isotopic Composition of Galactic Cosmic Rays
Galactic cosmic rays represent a directly accessible sample of matter that originates outside the solar system. The element and isotope distribution of this high-energy material is a record that was molded in the fires of nucleosynthesis in other regions of the galaxy, and imprinted by subsequent nuclear and electromagnetic processes that have altered its composition. Recently, significant new ...
متن کاملAnomalous Cosmic Rays
We review the observed properties of anomalous cosmic rays and the present status of our knowledge of the processes by which they originate. We compiled a comprehensive set of ACR energy spectral data from various spacecraft throughout the heliosphere during the passes of Ulysses over the poles of the Sun and present first results of a detailed modeling effort. In several contributions, we disc...
متن کاملAnomalous Cosmic Rays
The Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer, SAMPEX, will carry out energetic particle studies of outstanding scientific questions in the fields of space plasma physics, solar physics, magnetospheric and middle atmospheric physics, and cosmic ray physics. SAMPEX will measure the electron and ion composition of energetic particle populations from ~0.4 MeV/nucleon to hundreds of Me...
متن کاملComposition of Anomalous Cosmic Rays and Other Heliospheric Ions
Interstellar pickup ions accelerated by the termination shock of the solar wind dominate the anomalous cosmic-ray (ACR) intensities observed by the Voyager spacecraft in the outer heliosphere. Using a twodimensional acceleration and propagation model, we derive the relative abundances of these interstellar ACRs and determine the mass dependence of the injection/acceleration efficiency for the d...
