Scientific paper

Errors in nuclear interaction cross sections are the single most important limitation on the analysis of cosmic ray composition data. At the 18th International Cosmic Ray Conference, the potential importance of correlations in cross section errors in determining cosmic ray source abundances was demonstrated. In this paper the magnitude of cross section error correlation is estimated. Analysis suggests that cross section errors are essentially uncorrelated for nuclei with Z 29 and that the actual errors may be less than the nominal 35%.
