Scientific paper

A method is suggested by which the relative importance of direct acceleration (for example in supernova remnants) and continuous acceleration of cosmic rays might be determined. The method involves comparing the fluxes of secondary nuclei of two types, with different energy dependences for their production. Although the present experimental data are not very precise, and somewhat discordant, there is an indication of a significant contribution from continuous acceleration for energies to about 2 GeV/nucleon.
