Abstract Compiled measurements of secondary to primary ratios covering the charge range Z = 3−26 and the energy range 0.05 − 50 GeV/nucleon are analyzed in energy dependent galactic propagation plus solar modulation calculations. The cosmic ray pathlength distribution is shown to consist of two energy dependent components interpreted as representing confinement in the galaxy and confinement in the “source” regions.
