Abstract

We use instrumentation on SAMPEX and the Earth's field as a magnetic rigidity filter in a new "double spectrometer" approach to measure the composition and energy spectra of anomalous cosmic rays. We obtain a "pure" sample of anomalous cosmic ray C, N, 0, and Ne, with no significant evidence for other species. The energy spectrum of anomalous oxygen extends to -100 MeV/nuc, which has implications for models of the acceleration of these nuclei.
