Elemental Spectra from the First ATIC FlightThe Advanced Thin Ionization Calorimeter (ATIC) instrument is a balloon-borne experiment designed to measure the composition and energy spectra of Z = l to 26 cosmic rays over the energy range from approx. 10(exp 11) to approx. 10(exp 14) eV. The instrument consists of a silicon matrix charge detector, plastic scintillator strip hodoscopes interleaved with graphite interaction targets, and a fully active Bismuth Germanate (BGO) calorimeter. ATIC had two successful Long Duration Balloon flights launched from McMurdo Station, Antarctica in 2000 and 2002. In this paper, spectra of various elements measured during the first 16 day flight are presented.
