PRESENT STATUS OF COSMIC-RAY SPECTRUM AND COMPOSITION OBTAINED BY THE DIRECT MEASUREMENTS

We report recent results on the cosmic-ray spectrum and the composition obtained by RUNJOB collaboration (RUssia-Nippon JOint Balloon collaboration). We present the preliminary spectra for individual elements from proton to iron as well as the all-particle and the average mass in the energy range 10 to ~ 1000 TeV/particle, using 95% of the total exposure, and compare them with other experimental data, particularly those recently reported by ATIC group.
