摘要

We have performed a series of cosmic-ray electron observations using theballoon-borne emulsion chambers since 1968. While we previously reported theresults from subsets of the exposures, the final results of the total exposuresup to 2001 are presented here. Our successive experiments have yielded thetotal exposure of 8.19 m^2 sr day at the altitudes of 4.0 - 9.4 g/cm^2. Theperformance of the emulsion chambers was examined by accelerator beam tests andMonte-Carlo simulations, and the on-board calibrations were carried out byusing the flight data. In this work we present the cosmic-ray electron spectrumin the energy range from 30 GeV to 3 TeV at the top of the atmosphere, which iswell represented by a power-law function with an index of -3.28+-0.10. Theobserved data can be also interpreted in terms of diffusive propagation models.The evidence of cosmic-ray electrons up to 3 TeV suggests the existence ofcosmic-ray electron sources at distances within ~1 kpc and times within ~1x10^5yr ago.
