Research activities in Cosmic Rays Gamma Rays, and Astrophysical Plasmas are covered The investigation of the astrophysical aspects of cosmic rays and gamma rays and of the radiation and electromagnetic field environment of the Earth and other planets are studied. These investigations are carried out by means of energetic particle and photon detector systems flown on spacecraft and balloons. The emphasis is on precision measurements with high resolution in charge mass and energy. An extensive bibliography is given
