The balloon-borne experiment with a superconducting spectrometer (BESS) has performed cosmic-ray observations as a US Japan cooperative space science program, and has provided fundamental data on cosmic rays to study elementary particle phenomena in the early Universe.
His $1.6 billion Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer is yielding data on cosmic rays that are 30 times more accurate than is possible on Earth.
In 1938 Norwegian mineralogist Victor Goldschmidt published a detailed summary of data on cosmic abundances of the elements, running over most of the periodic table.
Based on JACEE experience, several suggestions are made for new approaches to Antarctic balloon flights to collect data on cosmic ray spectra.
This allowed for the optimization of the operating parameters of the system, and to qualify the detector with physics data from cosmic muons.
Goldschmidt's tables provided the basis for modern research on the geochemical distribution of the elements, and his compilation of data on cosmic abundances was the key to later theories on element synthesis in stars and supernovae.
The impact detector GORID, on the Russian Express II satellite has now collected data on Cosmic Dust and Space Debris for more than one year from its geostationary location at 80° East.
Using data on cosmic ray modulation parameter since 1951, we have estimated the evolution of the heliospheric current sheet tilt angle for the period 1951 1975, i.e., 25 years before regular observations of the tilt angle.
AMS could provide crucial data on cosmic nuclei, which would be vital to planning long-term human missions, Ting says.
Approximation of the data of cosmic rays with the least error was obtained by using coiflets with p = 3.
