Summary

Description
English: Instrument of the scientific satellite Advanced Composition Explorer. The Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS)

is measuring the abundances of galactic cosmic ray isotopes, with energies from ~100 to ~600 MeV/nucleon over the element range from helium to zinc, with a collecting power more than 50 times

greater than previous instruments of its kind.
