The NUCLEON satellite experiment is designed for direct measurements of the energy spectra of cosmic-ray nuclei and the chemical composition (Z=1−30) at an energy range up to 1000 TeV. The energy spectra of protons and helium nuclei are presented. Some spectral peculiarities were found. The differences of protons and helium spectra are investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
