Precise observation of ultra heavy GCRs would be an important step in resolving their origin including the remaining problems in cosmic ray astrophysics. A program to observe UH nuclei in GCRs is proposed which involves the use of a high performance solid-state track detector on board a long-duration balloon. The program focuses measuring the elemental and isotopic compositions of UH nuclei up to the actinides. The observation of nuclear composition covers a wide range of scientific themes including studies of nucleosynthesis in cosmic ray sources, chemical evolution of galactic material, the characteristic time of cosmic rays, and heating and acceleration mechanisms of cosmic ray particles.}, pages = {138--141}, title = {A Program for the Precise Observations of Ultra Heavy Nuclei in Galactic Cosmic Rays}, volume = {78}, year = {2009} }
