Description

Primary cosmic rays in the energy range above 1 TeV have been investigated at the Kosmos-1543 satellite. The experiments were carried out using Sokol device consisting of ionization calorimeter and two Cherenkov counters. It is shown that the ratio between different cosmic ray nuclei in the range of charges 2≤Z≤26 in the energy range 1-10 TeV is similar to that at considerably lower energies. The energy distribution of separate He, C, O, Fe nuclei in the energy range from approximately 2 to approximately 50 TeV doesn't contradict the ratio ε2.5 I(ε)=const, where I(ε) - intensity at the energy of ε GeV/nucleon
