Scientific paper

The abundances of N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S and Ar with respect to C were measured in low-energy cosmic rays in the 8 to 80 MeV/amu range. The ratios N/C, O/C, and Ne/C indicated considerably enhanced abundances of N, O, and Ne as compared to galactic cosmic rays; the Mg-Si and Ar abundances measured in the energy range 15-80 MeV/amu demonstrate that Mg and Si are depleted relative to C. It is concluded that the observed composition, energy spectra, and the flux values can be explained in terms of a process in which partially ionized ions of the anomalous component of low energy cosmic rays in interplanetary space enter the magnetosphere and are subjected to stripping collisions.
