The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) Antarctic Balloon Payload
The GAPS Collaboration, Kazutaka Aoyama, Tsuguo Aramaki +65
The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is an Antarctic stratospheric balloon mission designed to provide unmatched sensitivity to low-energy (<0.25 GeV/n) cosmic-ray antiprot…
Thermal Control System to Easily Cool the GAPS Balloon-borne Instrument on the Ground
Hideyuki Fuke, Shun Okazaki, Akiko Kawachi +6
This study developed a novel thermal control system to cool detectors of the General AntiParticle Spectrometer (GAPS) before its flights. GAPS is a balloon-borne cosmic-ray observa…
New Particle Identification Approach with Convolutional Neural Networks in GAPS
Masahiro Yamatani, Yusuke Nakagami, Hideyuki Fuke +4
The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is a balloon-borne experiment that aims to measure low-energy cosmic-ray antiparticles. GAPS has developed a new antiparticle identific…
Passivation of Si(Li) detectors operated above cryogenic temperatures for space-based applications
Nathan Saffold, Field Rogers, Mengjiao Xiao +12
This work evaluates the viability of polyimide and parylene-C for passivation of lithium-drifted silicon (Si(Li)) detectors. The passivated Si(Li) detectors will form the particle…
GAPS: Searching for Dark Matter using Antinuclei in Cosmic Rays
R. Bird, T. Aramaki, M. Boezio +47
The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) will carry out a sensitive dark matter search by measuring low-energy () cosmic ray antinuclei.…
Application of Machine Learning to the Particle Identification of GAPS
Takuya Wada, Hideyuki Fuke, Yuki Shimizu +1
GAPS is an international balloon-borne project that contributes to solving the dark-matter mystery through a highly sensitive survey of cosmic-ray antiparticles, especially undisco…
