Scientific paper

The TRACER cosmic-ray detector was exposed in a long-duration balloon flight from McMurdo, Antarctica in December 2003. The instrument, with a geometric factor of ˜ 5 m^2 ster, performed well and provided measurements for a duration of ten days with zero dead-time. TRACER measured the energy of cosmic ray nuclei at single charge resolution over the range oxygen to iron (8 <= Z <= 26). We shall present preliminary results on the energy spectra of these nuclei from ˜ 500 MeV/nucleon to ˜ 10 TeV/nucleon. The data will be compared with results from previous measurements, and discussed in the context of current models on the galactic propagation of cosmic rays.
