ZoberCALET, the Calorimetric Electron Telescope, launched to the International Space Station in August 2015 and in continuous operation since, has gathered over seven years of data so far. CALET is able to measure cosmic-ray (CR) electrons, nuclei, and gamma rays and with its 27 radiation length deep Total Absorption Calorimeter (TASC), measures particle energy, allowing for the determination of spectra and secondary to primary ratios of the more abundant CR nuclei through ₂₈Ni, while the main charge detector (CHD) can measure Ultra-Heavy (UH) CR nuclei through ₄₀Zr. CALET UHCR analyses use a special high duty cycle UH trigger with an expanded geometry that does not require passage through the TASC. To effectively analyze UHCR trigger events, a number of screens and corrections have been developed for the analysis. From time- and position-dependent detector response corrections based on ₁₄Si and ₂₆Fe, to an angle-dependent geomagnetic cutoff rigidity selections and minimum deposited energy screens, a number of methods have been explored to optimize UH statistics to varying effect. In this work, we aim to show how these event selection screens and corrections have been developed, how the rigidity screens shown previously by Rauch et al compare to the newer TASC methodology shown in our other ICRC paper, and how TASC selections may be used to influence analysis on the full UH-trigger dataset.We gratefully acknowledge JAXA’s contributions to the development of CALET and to the operations onboard the International Space Station.

ZoberThe CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) has collected over 60 months of uninterrupted data on the flux and spectrum of the Ultra-Heavy (UH) cosmic rays from Z=30 to 40. Using the latest data provided from CALET’s UH trigger, we present a newly developed UH analysis complementary to the ongoing analysis presented at this conference by Zober et al. This work introduces a new Ultra-Heavy Analysis (UHA) dataset produced from CALET production data allowing for more streamlined analysis. We detail temporal and spatial correction algorithms using both the 26Fe and 14Si peaks to improve charge resolution in the Z >= 30 region. Additionally, this work presents a new method for removing the contributions from non-relativistic/lower-Z nuclei using trajectory tracing to compute effective cutoff rigidities in place of the previously used vertical Stoermer approximation. We show that replacing the approximated cutoffs with numerically calculated effective cutoff rigidities, calculated using the IGRF13 and T05 (Tsyganenko 05) geomagnetic field models, leads to fewer events being removed from the dataset while maintaining improved charge resolution for Z > 26. Furthermore, we introduce Tarle function peak fitting to perform charge corrections needed as a result of any quenching effects. We show the most recent CALET UH results incorporating these improvements in the analysis.The material contained in this document is based upon work supported by a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grant or cooperative agreement.

August 2015 and continuously operating since, measures cosmic-ray (CR) electrons, nuclei and
gamma-rays. CALET utilizes its main calorimeter charge detector to measure CR nuclei from 1H
to 40Zr. In order to maximize the acceptance of the rare ultra-heavy (UH) CR above 30Zn, a special
high duty cycle (∼90%) UH trigger is used that does not require passage through the 27 radiation
length deep Total Absorption Calorimeter (TASC). This provides a 6× increase in geometry factor
allowing CALET to collect in 5 years a UHCR dataset with statistics comparable to those from
the first flight of the balloon-borne SuperTIGER instrument but without the need for atmospheric
corrections. Previous CALET UHCR analyses using time and position corrections based on 26Fe
and a geomagnetic vertical cutoff rigidity selection have shown abundances of even nuclei in
agreement with SuperTIGER. To further improve resolution and maximize statistics, a trajectory
dependent geomagnetic rigidity selection has been employed here with further work being done to
implement a Cash-Karp Runge-Kutta ray tracing method for an improved determination of effective
cutoff rigidities. Additional work has also been done to analyze events from the smaller dataset
of events that pass through the TASC, which provides energy information and a better charge
assignment that will provide higher resolution UH measurements, albeit with lower statistics.The material contained in this document is based upon work supported by a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grant or cooperative agreement. Any opinions, findings,

Varus/valgus and internal/external rotational knee joint stiffness in males and females
No full text"The purpose of this investigation was to establish day to day reliability of varus/valgus and internal/external rotational stiffness measures and then compare stiffnesses between males and females. Twenty healthy college students underwent varus/valgus (non-weightbearing) and internal/external (non-weight and weightbearing) applied torques to 10, and 5 Nm, respectively. Ten subjects returned a second day to establish reliability measures. Stiffness constants were calculated for each displacement created by a .5 Nm incrementally applied torque. Results revealed mean female stiffness was significantly less than males for valgus, varus, and weightbearing external rotational stiffness. Interactions demonstrated that female knees were less stiff during initial loading. Female knee joint stiffness increased to equal male stiffness during internal rotation, external rotation, and weightbearing internal rotation. These results suggest that with respect to males, females are in different joint positions as loads are applied, potentially causing a need for alternate strategies to control joint orientation.

Zober38th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2023), 26 July - 3 August, 2023, Nagoya, Japanpropagation and acceleration phenomena in our Galaxy. The CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) is measuring the spectra of heavy nuclei up to the highest directly observed energies on the International Space Station. In this contribution, based on the data collected during 7 years of operation, the measurement of the energy dependence of iron and nickel fluxes is presented. With respect to our previous published measurements, the analysis has been extended to a data sample enriched with more than 2.5 (1.5) extra years for iron (nickel). The results of the new analysis are reported together with a detailed assessment of systematic uncertainties. In the energy range explored so far, both spectra show a similar shape and energy dependence, suggesting that iron and nickel may follow almost identical acceleration and propagation mechanisms.We gratefully acknowledge JAXA’s contributions to the development of CALET and to the operations onboard

Results of the Ultra-Heavy Cosmic-Ray Analysis with CALET on the International Space Station

CALET, with its 27 radiation length deep Total Absorption Calorimeter (TASC), measures particle energy, allowing for the determination of spectra and secondary to primary ratios of the more abundant CR nuclei through ₂₈Ni, while the main charge detector (CHD) can measure Ultra-Heavy (UH) CR nuclei through ₄₀Zr.

The work shown here further improves upon those results by restricting UH events to those that pass through both the TASC and CHD. While this constraint does reduce the number of events to ∼1/6 of the original UH trigger analysis, the loss of statistics is compensated by improvements in event selection from an energy-binned charge determination and minimum deposited energy that substitutes for the previous minimum geomagnetic rigidity selection. The results shown here represent 7 years of observation for the abundances of elements from Z=10 to Z=40 relative to ₂₆Fe and are compared to previous measurements from ACE-CRIS, SuperTIGER, and HEAO-3We gratefully acknowledge JAXA’s contributions to the development of CALET and to the operations onboard the International Space Station.
