Inference of the Local Interstellar Spectra of Cosmic-Ray Nuclei Z ⩽ 28 with the GalProp-HelMod Framework.

ABSTRACT: Composition and spectra of Galactic cosmic rays (CRs) are vital for studies of high-energy processes in a variety of environments and on different scales, for interpretation of γ-ray and microwave observations, for disentangling possible signatures of new phenomena, and for understanding of our local Galactic neighborhood. Since its launch, AMS-02 has delivered outstanding-quality measurements of the spectra of p ¯ , e ^±, and nuclei: ₁H-₈O, ₁₀Ne, ₁₂Mg, ₁₄Si. These measurements resulted in a number of breakthroughs; however, spectra of heavier nuclei and especially low-abundance nuclei are not expected until later in the mission. Meanwhile, a comparison of published AMS-02 results with earlier data from HEAO-3-
