Abstract

The individual energy spectra and relative abundances measured with TRACER, are compared with previous measurements in space and balloons, and with interpretations of air shower data. From the individual spectral slopes, we discuss constraints on models of cosmic-ray propagation through the galaxy. We also discuss the extrapolated high-energy abundances of the elements at the cosmic ray sources. The TRACER instrument is currently being refurbished for a second long duration balloon flight. The dynamic range of the measurement will then be extended to include the lighter cosmic ray nuclei, down to boron (Z = 5).
