Abstract
We examine the cosmic ray source composition of elements from Ar to Ni (18≤ Z≤28) using
data from ~0.l to ~200 GeV /nuc and a cosmic ray propagation code that includes
improved fragmentation cross-sections. By fitting available satellite data over more than
three decades in energy /nuc, including recent HEA0-3 data, we obtain improved source
abundances for Ar, Ca, Cr, Mn, and Ni, and compare these with recent determinations of
the solar composition. We find no evidence for an energy-dependent source composition
below ~20 GeV/nuc, but the data at higher energies deserve further study.
