Elemental CompositionElemental Composition
Direct measurements well determine C.R. elemental composition under the knee.
As a result important hints to acceleration processes and propagation of cosmic rays through the ISM are obtained.
New data on secondary to primary (B/C) ratio in cosmic rays fluxes are providing unique tools to characterize the diffusion properties of ISM.
