Scientific paper

We discuss the possible presence of Ultra Heavy (UH) (Z> 26) nuclei in the cosmic ray flux in the PeV-EeV region. Although there are no existing measurements of these nuclei in this energy region, there are suggestions that the UH nuclear flux could be 10-3 of the cosmic ray flux in this energy region. We discuss possible signatures of this flux in existing cosmic ray measurements, and describe future simulation work needed to translate these existing measurements into meaningful upper limits. Results from this simulation work will be presented at the Conference.
