A Galactic Cosmic-Ray Database
Abstract
Despite a century of cosmic-ray measurements there seems to have been no attempt to collect these data systematically for use by the CR community. The result is that everyone makes their own collection as required, a large duplication of effort. Therefore we have started a project to place published Galactic CR measurements in a database available online. It currently addresses energies up to 100 TeV, including elemental spectra, secondary/primary nuclei ratios, antiprotons, electrons and positrons. It is updated regularly as data appears in the literature. It is supported by access software. The community is encouraged to participate by providing data, pointing out errors or omissions, and suggestions for improvements.
