Abstract: (SISSA)
The study of flux ratios of cosmic-ray primary elements is of particular interest not only to assessthe relative abundance of each element, but also to gain a deeper understanding of their propagationin the galaxy. High energy cosmic ray data are the best candidate for this purpose as convection,nuclear decay, and energy degradation can be neglected during their propagation. CALET onthe International Space Station has been measuring the flux of several primary elements fromproton to nickel for 7 years to date. In this contribution, the flux ratios of heavy primary elementsto lighter primaries will be shown, extending the energy range already investigated by previousmeasurements.
