A cosmic antimatter detector on a polar-orbit satellite

Summary In order to get a high statistics in the collection of low-energy cosmic antiprotons and to maximize the probability to detect the hypothesized cosmic antialphas, the necessity of an experiment placed on a polar orbit is discussed in this paper.

Summary In order to get a high statistics in the collection of low-energy cosmic antiprotons and to maximize the probability to detect the hypothesized cosmic antialphas, the necessity of an experiment placed on a polar orbit is discussed in this paper. An apparatus able to detect%$\bar \alpha , \bar p%$ and $ e^{+} $ with high accuracy in the range (0.5 ÷ 5.0) GeV is also presented. Ausführliche Beschreibung
