Abundances of energy spectra of individual iron-secondary elementsRelative abundances of individual Iron-secondary elements have been measured using a balloon-borne 6.6 m ster ionization/Cerenkov detector system. The unusually large geometry factor and single-charge resolution yield empirical atmospheric attenuation curves for individual elements which combine with high statistics at float altitude to yield individual element abundances, extrapolated to the top of the atmosphere, with high precision. Results are presented for top-of-the-atmosphere abundances (relative to iron) of individual elements in the Z range 13-30.
