Abstract (from CDS):

Standard models of cosmic-ray origin link the space accelerators of our Galaxy to the supernova remnants (SNRs)–expanding shells driven by very fast blast waves, usually with gamma-ray pulsars near the morphological center. Energy spectra of fully stripped ions with charges from Z=1 to Z=26 can provide clues to the validity of the standard model. Unfortunately, smeared data from the extensive air shower experiments do not provide enough information for such ion ``spectroscopy.'' Nonetheless, the measurement of energy spectra of two or three broad mass groups (so-called light, intermediate, and heavy) will allow us to prove or disprove the ``rigidity-dependent'' acceleration. Recently, using multidimensional classification methods, the ``all-particle'' spectra from the MAKET-ANI experiment on Mount Aragats, in Armenia, was categorized into two distinct primary mass groups. We present, for the first time, the light and heavy nuclei spectra from the MAKET-ANI experiment.
