High Energy Electron Observation by Polar Patrol Balloon Flight in Anatarctica
We have carried out the electron observation in 10 - 1000 GeVby the Polar Patron Balloon (PPB) in Antarctica. The balloon was floatedat a level altitude of 35 km for 13 days in January, 2004.The detector, BETS, consists of 9 plates of plastic scintillatorand nearly 10,000 scintillating fibers with l...

Summary: | We have carried out the electron observation in 10 - 1000 GeVby the Polar Patron Balloon (PPB) in Antarctica. The balloon was floatedat a level altitude of 35 km for 13 days in January, 2004.The detector, BETS, consists of 9 plates of plastic scintillatorand nearly 10,000 scintillating fibers with lead of 9 radiation length inthickness.It has capability of measuring the three dimensional shower developmentto select electrons from the background protons.In this paper, we present the performance of the detectorand the results on the energy spectrum of electrons.
