Scientific paper

A cosmic ray mass spectrometer using a superconducting magnet, digitized wire spark chambers, and a scintillation counter time of flight system, has been operated at an altitude of 2750 meters. The apparatus is most sensitive to charged particles with momentum to mass ratios between 0.2 and 2.0. Results for the momentum spectra of protons and deuterons are presented, as well as upper limits for H-3 and He-3. The reaction nucleon + nucleon yields deuteron + pion accounts for part of the observed deuteron spectrum in the 0.9 to 3 GeV/c region.-
