A balloon flight from an antarctic base to get the best conditions in the search for cosmic antiprotons

Searching for cosmic antiprotons, balloon-borne experiments were performed in the last years, but without a clear answer on the p rate and origin. Here we present the project of an antarctic flight of a balloonborne apparatus that in principle could be greatly helpful in clarifying the situation bef...

Description
Summary:Searching for cosmic antiprotons, balloon-borne experiments were performed in the last years, but without a clear answer on the p rate and origin. Here we present the project of an antarctic flight of a balloonborne apparatus that in principle could be greatly helpful in clarifying the situation before that experiments on space station or satellites provide the high statistics for a more complete scenario.
