We report a measurement of the composition and spectra of both the primary and secondary cosmic ray particles at different depths in the atmosphere. The data were collected by the balloon-b orne experiment CAPRICE98 during the ascent of the payload on 28 May 1998 from Fort Sumner, New Mexico. The identification of various kinds of particles, such as, protons, deuterons, helium nuclei, electrons and positrons was possible in various energy ranges depending on the kind of particle and the particle background at different residual atmosphere. These measurements, together with the atmospheric muon spectra, will allow fine-tuning of models used in air shower simulations.
