| 英文摘要 | We statistically analyze the elemental galactic cosmic ray (gcr) composition measurements of elements 5 <= z <= 28 within the energy range 30-500 mev/nucleon from the cris instrument on board the ace spacecraft in orbit about the l1 lagrange point during the period from 1997 to 2014. similarly to the last unusual solar minimum, the elevated elemental intensities of all heavy nuclei during the current weak solar maximum in 2014 are similar to 40% higher than that of the previous solar maximum in 2002, which has been attributed to the weak modulation associated with low solar activity levels during the ongoing weakest solar maximum since the dawn of space age. in addition, the abundance ratios of heavy nuclei with respect to elemental oxygen are generally independent of kinetic energy per nucleon in the energy region 60-200 mev/nuc, in good agreement with previous experiments. furthermore, the abundance ratios of most relatively abundant species, except carbon, exhibit considerable solar-cycle variation, which are obviously positively correlated with the sunspot numbers with about one-year time lag. we also find that the percentage variation of abundance ratios for most elements are approximately identical. these preliminary results provide valuable insights into the characteristics of elemental heavy nuclei composition and place new and significant constraints on future gcr heavy nuclei propagation and modulation models. |
