Observations from the Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS) aboard NASA’s Advanced
Composition Explorer (ACE) have shown that all relevant galactic cosmic ray isotopic
ratios measured are consistent with an OB-Association origin of galactic cosmic rays
(GCRs). Additionally CRIS measurements of the isotopic abundances of 59Ni and 59Co
have shown that the 59Ni has completely decayed into 59Co

Cosmic-ray interactions are the only known source of the rare isotope 6Li. The
standard picture is that the observed solar 6Li is produced by galactic cosmic-rays
accelerated in supernova remnants. Thus lithium-6 is a unique probe of the local
Galactic (hadronic) cosmic-ray history. On the other hand, extragalactic gamma-ray
background is a measure of cosmic-ray fluence but for the average st

The Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass balloon-borne experiment has
accumulated 70 days of exposure during two successful flights in Antarctica.
The instrument is configured with complementary and redundant particle
detectors. Energy measurements are made with a transition radiation detector
and an ionization calorimeter. Charge measurements are made with timing,
pixelated Si, and Cherenko

We present an alternative analysis of the data reported by the
balloon-borne experiment RUNJOB.
According to RUNJOB, the average mass number of primary cosmic ray particles
is constant up to 1 PeV.
Here we show that there is more than one solution, which reproduce
the observational data.
It is demonstrated that, contrary to the wide-spread opinion, the RUNJOB
data are not inconsistent with

We use the GALPROP code and the ACE data to derive the cosmic ray isotopic
composition at the sources. The composition is derived for two propagation models,
diffusive reacceleration and plain diffusion. We show that the compositions derived
assuming different propagation models are different. We also compare the isotopic
composition at the sources with the latest solar composition. This may p

A nonlinear kinetic theory of cosmic ray (CR) acceleration in
supernova remnants is employed to calculate CR spectra. The magnetic field
in SNRs is assumed to be significantly amplified by the effectively accelerating
nuclear CR component. It is shown that the calculated CR spectra agree in a
satisfactory way with the existing measurements of the observed Galactic CR
(GCR) spectrum up to

The Space Mission Pamela, launched in orbit on 15 June 2006, represents the
state-of-the-art of the investigation of the cosmic radiation to addressing the
most compelling issues facing astrophysics and cosmology: the nature of the
dark matter that pervades the universe, the apparent absence of cosmological
antimatter, the origin and evolution of matter in the galaxy.
The primary scien
