Scientific paper

The relative charge abundance of galactic cosmic-ray nuclei is measured between 600 and 1000 MeV per nucleon over a range of Z from 2 to 28. The abundances observed at earth are extrapolated to the cosmic-ray source, yielding accurate source abundances for 15 elements. These abundances, together with recently measured isotopic abundance ratios, are compared with the average abundances observed in another sample of accelerated material - solar cosmic rays. Appreciable differences are found in the composition for the elements He, C, N, and Ne. The galactic and solar cosmic-ray abundances are also compared with a variety of compilations of unaccelerated matter.
