Description
Relativistic cosmic heavy nuclei were detected in a chamber composed of a pile of solid track detector (CR-39) and the nuclear emulsion plates. The chambers were exposed by balloon flights at SANRIKU BALLOON CENTER. The integral flux of cosmic Fe-nuclei at the top of atmosphere is estimated to be I(>=4.1 GeV/n) = (7.45 +- 0.51) x 10-2 per m2.sr.sec. The multiplicity and angular distributions of secondary charged particles in Fe-nucleus collisions are presented. (author)
