Description
We report the observation of new properties of primary cosmic-ray neon (Ne), magnesium (Mg), silicon (Si) and iron (Fe) nuclei measured in the rigidity range from 2 GV to 3 TV by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station. The properties of the light primary cosmic-ray helium (He), carbon (C) and oxygen (O) nuclei will be also discussed, showing that Ne, Mg, Si and He, C, O form two different classes of primary cosmic rays, and that unexpectedly Fe belongs to the class of light primary cosmic rays He, C, and O.
