Scientific paper
A novel particle track-recording glass detector is to be used for measuring the isotopic composition of iron-group elements in the galactic cosmic radiation. In the context of cosmic-ray physics, such measurements will elucidate stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis in highly evolved stars, as well as the acceleration mechanisms of cosmic rays and the structure of the interstellar medium. A very prolonged exposure, such as is possible only in an Antarctic balloon flight, is necessary for observation of such rare isotopes as those of Ni.
