Description: This publication brings together two groups of papers under two headings. The first group of papers are under the heading 'Energetic Spectra and Charge Composition of Galactic Cosmic Rays above 10 eV: Implications for the Origin and Acceleration limit of Galactic Cosmic Rays'. This session contains 4 papers on the 'knee' region of the cosmic ray spectrum near 1PeV energies. The session has some discussion of proposed instruments to investigate this region and other theoretical papers which investigate the generation and transport of these particles in our galaxy. The second group of papers are under the heading 'Cosmic Ray Composition Studies at Solar Minimum'. This session contains 18 papers providing results relating to experiments flown during the latest solar minimum. Areas covered include new Observations of Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs), new Ulysses measurements of GCR spectra outside the ecliptic plane, several theoretical studies, new observations of Anomalous Cosmic Ray (ACR) from two spacecraft, and description of an alternative approach to simulation of ACR transport in the heliosphere.
