Galactic cosmic rays with energy less than 1 TeV/amu

Many new results on galactic cosmic ray composition and spectra were presented at the 26th ICRC. The sessions covered in this paper (OG 1.1, OG 4.1, and OG 4.2) include direct measurements of cosmic rays, related work on modeling and interpretation, and plans for future experiments in this area. Approximately thirty active and planned experiments were presented. Highlights of the conference included measurements of elemental and isotopic composition by the Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS) aboard the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft, new data from several magnetic spectrometers and other balloon payloads, and continued progress in the application of passive techniques to studies of rare components of the cosmic rays. Considerable interest in extending direct measurements to higher energies was reflected in the technical sessions
