高能宇宙射线的元素组成:用TRACER测量

The Elemental Composition of High-Energy Cosmic Rays: Measurements with TRACER

P. J. Boyle

摘要:

TRACER(Transition Radiation Array for Cosmic Energetic Radiation)是一种气球携带的仪器,用于直接测量单个重元素的组成和能谱,最高可达10^15 eV/粒子。TRACER通过使用转换辐射探测器实现了大的几何因子(5 m^2 sr),该探测器采用单线比例管阵列。TRACER测量了元素O、Ne、Mg、Si、S、Ar、Ca和Fe的能谱。能谱达到每个粒子超过10^14 eV的能量,并且对所有元素表现出几乎相同的光谱指数(2.65 +/- 0.05)。

英文摘要:

TRACER ('Transition Radiation Array for Cosmic Energetic Radiation') is a balloon borne instrument that has been developed to directly measure the composition and energy spectra of individual heavy elements up to 10^15 eV per particle. TRACER achieves a large geometric factor (5 m^2 sr) through the use of a Transition Radiation Detector utilizing arrays of single wire proportional tubes. TRACER has measured the energy spectra of the elements O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, Ar, Ca, and Fe. The energy spectra reach energies in excess of 10^14 eV per particle and exhibit nearly the same spectral index (2.65 +/- 0.05) for all elements.
