Abstract
A ratio between the relative abundances of the groups of platinum (75 less than or equal to Z less than or equal to 79) and lead (80 less th an or equal to Z less than or equal to 83) has been extracted from a p ublished sample of 270 galactic cosmic rays from the Ultra Heavy Cosmi c Ray Experiment after carrying out a process of partial deconvolution . The ratio obtained is compared with the ratio corresponding to a sol ar system-like source composition and found to be significantly higher . This result, compatible with previous experiments, suggests a contri bution of the r-process to cosmic ray abundances.
