The carbon/oxygen ratio in high-energy cosmic raysThe abundance distribution of cosmic ray nuclei at 0.6 GeV/nucleon, 1.6 GeV/nucleon and between 20 and 100 GeV/nucleon has been measured by balloon-borne instrumentation. We find that the abundance ratio of carbon to oxygen decreases from 1.1 around 1 GeV/nucleon to a value of about 0.8 at energies above about 30 GeV/nucleon. Some implications of this result are discussed.
