Description:
A silica aerogel Cerenkov radiator with a refractive index of 1.06 has been flown in a balloon borne cosmic ray telescope. Clear separation of the elements in the iron group was achieved even at high energies. No detectable scintillation component was found. Some optical properties of the silica aerogel used in this flight are presented.
