Measurements of cosmic-ray proton and helium spectra from the BESS-Polar long-duration balloon flights over Antarctica

K. Abe, H. Fuke, S. Haino +34

The BESS-Polar Collaboration measured the energy spectra of cosmic-ray protons and helium during two long-duration balloon flights over Antarctica in December 2004 and December 200…

Observations of High Energy Cosmic-Ray Electrons from 30 GeV to 3 TeV with Emulsion Chambers

Tadashi Kobayashi, Yoshiko Komori, Kenji Yoshida +7

We have performed a series of cosmic-ray electron observations using the balloon-borne emulsion chambers since 1968. While we previously reported the results from subsets of the ex…

Search for Antihelium with the BESS-Polar Spectrometer

K. Abe, H. Fuke, S. Haino +33

In two long-duration balloon flights over Antarctica, the BESS-Polar collaboration has searched for antihelium in the cosmic radiation with higher sensitivity than any reported inv…

Measurement of the cosmic-ray antiproton spectrum at solar minimum with a long-duration balloon flight over Antarctica

K. Abe, H. Fuke, S. Haino +26

The energy spectrum of cosmic-ray antiprotons from 0.17 to 3.5 GeV has been measured using 7886 antiprotons detected by BESS-Polar II during a long-duration flight over Antarctica…

High-energy electron observations by PPB-BETS flight in Antarctica

S. Torii, T. Yamagami, T. Tamura +23

We have observed cosmic-ray electrons from 10 GeV to 800 GeV by a long duration balloon flight using Polar Patrol Balloon (PPB) in Antarctica. The observation was carried out for 1…

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…
