Abstract:
The source abundance of primary cosmic rays is computed and compared with the solar abundance.
Then a model, proposed by one of the authors, which is based on quantum effects on gravity,
is discussed and shown to yeild a prediction for the source abundance. The prediction of the model
is compared with the calculated source abundance.
