Cosmic Antiproton Sensitivity for the GAPS Experiment
The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) experiment is a balloon payload designed to measure low-energy cosmic antinuclei during at least three ∼35-day Antarctic flights, with the first flight planned for December, 2022. With its large geometric acceptance and novel exotic atombased particle ide...
