Abstract
Bradt and Peters1, in their analysis of the primary cosmic radiation as observed in the out-of-the-atmosphere observations with the plate technique, have given the completely stripped nucleus of neon as one of the main components of the heavier cosmic particles. In fact, the relative abundance is given as almost the same as that of oxygen-16 (vide Fig. 13, p. 66, of their paper).
