Scientific paper

TIGER is a balloon-borne cosmic-ray experiment designed to measure the elemental abundances of Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) in the charge range 26≤ Z ≤40 with better than 0.25 charge unit (cu) resolution. The experiment consists of a combination of plastic scintillators, acrylic and aerogel Cherenkov detectors, and scintillating fiber hodoscopes. TIGER was flown from Fort Sumner, NM aboard a high-altitude balloon on September 24, 1997 at geomagnetic cutoffs between 4.2 GV and 3.2 GV, and atmospheric depths between 3g/cm2 and 6g/cm2. The 23.5-hour balloon flight provided a statistically significant sample of GCR nuclei through Ni and achieved charge resolution capable of resolving Co from the much more abundant Fe peak.
