Scientific paper

Studies using thick stacks of nuclear emulsion/etchable plastic passive detectors flown on balloons have demonstrated the ability of this technique to determine unambiguously the charge and energy of the very rare Z 70 particles. A series of exposures using the Spacelab would offer the advantage of low contamination due to atmospheric spallation and significantly increase the world statistics available in the field of transuranic cosmic ray primaries. The modular construction of the experiments would make it possible to take advantage of any spare payload space at short notice. The experiment, being passive in nature, would place very low demands on Spacelab and shuttle services.
