title: Linear energy transfer spectra of cosmic radiation aboard the Cosmos-1129 satellite.
abstract: The most important characteristic of the hazard due to cosmic radiation is the spectrum of linear energy transfer (LET), which enables one to estimate the dose equivalent. This has prompted us to study LET spectra of cosmic radiation aboard Cosmos-1129 using nuclear emulsions as a threshold detector.
