Scientific paper

The elemental composition and mean masses of the cosmic rays from Ca to Ni have been measured using a Lexan polycarbonate stack exposed in a balloon flight. A 3-percent charge resolution for Fe at an energy interval of 255 - 545 MeV/nucleon is obtained at the top of the atmosphere. The spectrum measured has been propagated through the detector, the residual atmosphere, the solar cavity, and the interstellar medium, obtaining the composition at sources with a 7-percent resolution for Fe. It is not possible to resolve adjacent isotopes with the Lexan polycarbonate.
