Abstract: (Springer)
This paper covers anti-particles, positrons and electrons, isotopes, ultra-heavy nuclei, energy spectrum and composition which ahve been obtained by direct observation, using mainly balloons and spacecraft. As the above title suggests, I would like to discuss particularly the source spectrum and «knee» problem from the direct observational point of view, based on the data presented in this Conference as well as those reported previously.
