The low energy end of the rigidity spectrum of cosmic ray nuclei with atomic numbers Z greater than or equal to 18, recorded in a balloon flight conducted from Palestine, Texas, was compared with a corresponding theoretical spectrum based on the computations by Shea and Smart. The two distributions are found to be in qualitative agreement with each other. The spread in apparent particle charge, caused by the theoretical distribution of particle velocity at Palestine, was calculated for detectors with different response functions. The resulting structure of the predicted charge spectrum of iron group nuclei is found to be in good agreement with corresponding experimental data.
