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…

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…

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…

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…

Successive Measurements of Cosmic-Ray Antiproton Spectrum in a Positive Phase of the Solar Cycle

T. Maeno, S. Orito, H. Matsunaga +1

The energy spectrum of cosmic-ray antiprotons has been measured by BESS successively in 1993, 1995, 1997 and 1998. In total, 848 antiprotons were clearly identified in energy range…
