Abstract

In recent years, some experimental studies have reported the presence of a new component in low energy heavy cosmic rays in near earth space. The Indian cosmic ray experiment aboard Space Shuttle Spacelab-3 is designed to study the ionization states of this new component in addition to its abundance and energy spectra. This experiment will be flown in space in Spacelab-3 in 1984. Our detector system consists mainly of CR-39 (DOP) sheets along with some Lexan Polycarbonate sheets. In this paper, we describe the detector module for this experiment along with its functioning.
