Scientific paper

The overabundance of elements in cosmic rays is shown to be correlated with their condensation temperatures as well as to their depletion in interstellar space. It is suggested that grains exist in the source material of cosmic rays which are initially accelerated preferentially, mixed with gas, and then broken up before reaching higher energies. Such processes could take place in OB associations with gas clouds, where supernovae explosions might have occurred.
