This data collection consists of 20-day average fluxes in certain energy intervals for interplanetary oxygen, nitrogen, and neon nuclei from the Low Energy Telescope (LET) sensor in the COSPIN experiment on Ulysses. The particles contributing to these fluxes have been identified by pulse height analysis which allows subtraction of telescope backgrounds and computation of fluxes with known geometric factors. The data file in ascii table format includes oxygen fluxes (/cm2-s-sr-MeV/n) at 4 to 20 MeV/nucleon in four channels, nitrogen fluxes at 4 to 20 MeV/n in two channels, and neon fluxes at 4 to 30 MeV/n in two channels. Statistical errors for the flux from each channel are also included. The LET sensor is described in detail by Simpson et al. (Astron. & Astrophys., vol 92, pp. 365-399, 1992).
