Abstract

Cosmic rays with Z > 50 captured in olivine meteorite crystal (Marjalahti) is analyzed. The length distribution of such cosmic ray traces (R > 100 µm) at 6 and 9 cm from the meteorite surface is determined. Utilizing the dependency curve between trace length and charge, the relative contribution of nuclei with Z > 50 is ascertained and compared with similar experimental results from the literature. We estimate the energy spectrum decay index of cosmic rays for nuclei from 50 < Z < 70, 70 < Z < 90 and Z > 90.
