Measurement of cosmic-ray low-energy antiproton spectrum with the first BESS-Polar Antarctic flight
K. Abe, H. Fuke, S. Haino +27
The BESS-Polar spectrometer had its first successful balloon flight over Antarctica in December 2004. During the 8.5-day long-duration flight, almost 0.9 billion events were record…
Measurements of 0.2 to 20 GeV/n cosmic-ray proton and helium spectra from 1997 through 2002 with the BESS spectrometer
Y. Shikaze, S. Haino, K. Abe +21
We measured low energy cosmic-ray proton and helium spectra in the kinetic energy range 0.215 - 21.5 GeV/n at different solar activities during a period from 1997 to 2002. The obse…
Measurements of Atmospheric Antiprotons
K. Yamato, K. Abe, H. Fuke +21
We measured atmospheric antiproton spectra in the energy range 0.2 to 3.4 GeV, at sea level and at balloon altitude in the atmospheric depth range 4.5 to 26 g/cm^2. The observed en…
Search for Cosmic-Ray Antideuterons
H. Fuke, T. Maeno, K. Abe +23
We performed a search for cosmic-ray antideuterons using data collected during four BESS balloon flights from 1997 to 2000. No candidate was found. We derived, for the first time,…
Measurements of Primary and Atmospheric Cosmic-Ray Spectra with the BESS-TeV Spectrometer
S. Haino, T. Sanuki, K. Abe +30
Primary and atmospheric cosmic-ray spectra were precisely measured with the BESS-TeV spectrometer. The spectrometer was upgraded from BESS-98 to achieve seven times higher resoluti…
Measurement of Cosmic-Ray Proton and Antiproton Spectra at Mountain Altitude
T. Sanuki, M. Fujikawa, H. Matsunaga +22
Cosmic-ray proton and antiproton spectra were measured at mountain altitude, 2770 m above sea level. We observed more than 2 x 10^5 protons and 10^2 antiprotons in a kinetic energy…
Measurement of Cosmic-Ray Proton, Antiproton and Muon Spectra at Mountain Altitude
T. Sanuki, M. Fujikawa, K. Abe +22
Measurement of cosmic-ray proton, antiproton and muon spectra was carried out at mountain altitude. We observed 2 x 10^5 protons and 10^2 antiprotons in a kinetic energy region of…
Measurements of Proton, Helium and Muon Spectra at Small Atmospheric Depths with the BESS Spectrometer
K. Abe, T. Sanuki, K. Anraku +32
The cosmic-ray proton, helium, and muon spectra at small atmospheric depths of 4.5 -- 28 g/cm^2 were precisely measured during the slow descending period of the BESS-2001 balloon f…
Precise Measurements of Atmospheric Muon Fluxes with the BESS Spectrometer
M. Motoki, T. Sanuki, S. Orito +36
The vertical absolute fluxes of atmospheric muons and muon charge ratio have been measured precisely at different geomagnetic locations by using the BESS spectrometer. The observat…
Measurements of atmospheric muon spectra at mountain altitude
T. Sanuki, M. Fujikawa, K. Abe +26
We report new measurements of the atmospheric muons at mountain altitude. The measurement was carried out with the BESS detector at the top of Mt. Norikura, Japan. The altitude is…
Measurements of Cosmic-ray Low-energy Antiproton and Proton Spectra in a Transient Period of the Solar Field Reversal
Y. Asaoka, Y. Shikaze, K. Abe +39
The energy spectra of cosmic-ray low-energy antiprotons and protons have been measured by BESS in 1999 and 2000, during a period covering the solar magnetic field reversal. Based o…
