Energy Spectra of Cosmic Ray Protons and Helium Nuclei in the NUCLEON Experiment

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The main aims of the NUCLEON satellite experiment are direct measurement of the energy spectra of cosmic ray protons and nuclei in the 2–500 TeV range of energies by two different methods (an ionization calorimeter and the new Kinematic Lightweight Energy Meter (KLEM) technique). The energy spectra of protons and helium nuclei are presented, and their characteristics are discussed.
