Scientific paper

We present results on the spectra and relative abundances of C, N, and O nuclei in the cosmic radiation as measured from the Advanced Thin Ionization Calorimeter Balloon experiment (ATIC). The ATIC detector has completed two successful balloon flights from McMurdo, Antarctica lasting a total of more than 35 days. ATIC is designed as a multiple, long duration balloon flight, investigation of the cosmic ray spectra from below 50 GeV to near 100 TeV total energy, using a fully active Bismuth Germanate calorimeter. It is equipp ed with a large mosaic of silicon detector pixels capable of charge identification and as a particle tracking system, three projective layers of x-y scintillator ho doscopes were employed, above, in the middle and below a 0.75 nuclear interaction length graphite target.
