A new understanding of nuclei spectra properties with propagation model

The AMS-02 experiment has observed new properties of primary cosmic rays (CRs) categorized into two groups: He-C-O-Fe and Ne-Mg-Si-S, which are independent of CR propagation. In this study, we investigate the unexpected properties of these nuclei using a spatial propagation model. All nuclei spectra are accurately reproduced and separated into primary and secondary contributions. Our findings include: 1. Primary CR spectra are identical. 2. Our calculations align with AMS-02 results for primary-dominated nuclei within a 10\% difference, but show significant discrepancies for the secondary-dominated nuclei. 3. The primary element abundance is presented for the first time. We anticipate that the DAMPE and future HERD experiments will provide observations of nuclei spectra above TeV energy.
