Scientific paper

The cosmic ray charge spectrum was studied in three nuclear emulsion stacks exposed in balloon flights from Fort Churchill, Canada, in 1967 and 1970. The charge region is for Z between 14 and 28 and the energy interval is about 400-800 MeV/nucleon. The particles are identified by measurements with a nuclear track photometer which is described in some detail. The charge spectrum is extrapolated to the top of the atmosphere and comparisons with other measurements are made. Special emphasis is put on the abundance ratios (Sn-Mn)/Fe, (Sc+Ti)/(V+Cr), and Ni/Fe.
