    In two long-duration balloon flights over Antarctica, the Balloon-borne Experiment with a Superconducting Spectrometer (BESS) collaboration has searched for antihelium in the cosmic radiation with the highest sensitivity reported. BESS-Polar I flew in 2004, observing for 8.5 days. BESS-Polar II flew in 2007-2008, observing for 24.5 days. No antihelium candidate was found in BESS-Polar I data among 8.4 x 10(6) vertical bar Z vertical bar = 2 nuclei from 1.0 to 20 GV or in BESS-Polar II data among 4: 0 x 10(7) vertical bar Z vertical bar = 2 nuclei from 1.0 to 14 GV. Assuming antihelium to have the same spectral shape as helium, a 95% confidence upper limit to the possible abundance of antihelium relative to helium of 6.9 x 10(-8) was determined combining all BESS data, including the two BESS-Polar flights. With no assumed antihelium spectrum and a weighted average of the lowest antihelium efficiencies for each flight, an upper limit of 1.0 x 10(-7) from 1.6 to 14 GV was determined for the combined BESS-Polar data. Under both antihelium spectral assumptions, these are the lowest limits obtained to date.

    The energy spectrum of cosmic-ray antiprotons ((p) over bar 's) from 0.17 to 3.5 GeV has been measured using 7886 (p) over bar 's detected by BESS-Polar II during a long-duration flight over Antarctica near solar minimum in December 2007 and January 2008. This shows good consistency with secondary (p) over bar calculations. Cosmologically primary (p) over bar 's have been investigated by comparing measured and calculated (p) over bar spectra. BESS-Polar II data show no evidence of primary (p) over bar 's from the evaporation of primordial black holes.

    We measured low energy cosmic-ray proton and helium spectra in the kinetic energy range 0.215-21.5 GeV/n at different solar activities during a period from 1997 to 2002. The observations were carried out with the BESS spectrometer launched on a balloon at Lynn Lake, Canada. A calculation for the correction of secondary particle backgrounds from the overlying atmosphere was improved by using the measured spectra at small atmospheric depths ranging from 5 through 37 g/cm(2). The uncertainties including statistical and systematic errors of the obtained spectra at the top of atmosphere are 5-7% for protons and 6-9% for helium nuclei in the energy range 0.5-5 GeV/n.

    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 energy spectra, including our previous measurements at mountain altitude, were compared with estimated spectra calculated on various assumptions regarding the energy distribution of antiprotons that interacted with air nuclei.

    The Balloon Bome Experiment with a Superconducting Solenoid Spectrometer (BESS) was flown annually in 1993, 1994, and 1995. In this report we present the energy spectra and isotopic composition of cosmic ray H and He measured from the 1993 flight. The low energy fluxes of H and He agree with the IMP-8 satellite data for a 26 day period (7/14/93 - 8/9/93) that overlapped the BESS flight. Both H-2 and He-3 were well separated from H-1 and He-4. The measured spectra were corrected for the atmospheric overburden and compared with the interstellar/heliospheric propagation calculations. (C) 1997 COSPAR.

    A thin superconducting solenoid was launched by using a large balloon up to an altitude of 36.5 km in Northern Canada in the summer of 1993 as a core facility for the cosmic ray spectrometer, BESS. The magnet was excited up to 1.0 T in persistent current mode on the ground and was launched being attended with 2.7 G shocks. After 17 hours successful flight, it was discharged on the sky and made a mild descending and landing by using a parachute for recovery. The magnet was safely operated without problems during flight in 1993 and contributed to an second observation in the summer of 1994.

    A balloon-borne superconducting solenoidal magnet spectrometer, BESS, has been designed and developed to investigate cosmic-rays and particle-astrophysics. Search for primordial antimatter in cosmic-rays and observation of gamma-rays are primary objectives to study early history of the Universe. The cylindrical spectrometer configuration with a thin superconducting solenoid magnet is optimized to provide a large geometrical acceptance of 0.5-1.0 m(2)sr for these scientific objectives. The spectrometer system has been completed and is planned to be launched for the first scientific flight from Lynn Lake, Canada, in 1993. This report describes the progress of the spectrometer development and discuss about its capability to search for primordial antimatter in cosmic rays.

    A few hundred batteries are employed to supply electricity to an experimental apparatus borne on a balloon. It is important to keep the batteries under good quality control. To facilitate such control, a modular architecture has been introduced to the organization of the batteries and the structure of the electronic system in the apparatus. The system comprises subsystems called modules. Electricity is supplied to each module by floating power supplies made from a dedicated portion of the batteries. The modules are electrically isolated individually. A local network is employed to enhance the modularity of the system. The modules communicate through a single twisted-pair cable, a party-line bus to which the modules are connected through isolation transformers.

    A Balloon Experiment with Superconducting Spectrometer (BESS) to search for primordial anti-matter abundance in cosmic radiation and to measure anti-proton spectrum is being prepared. A large geometry factor of 1.2 m2sr was achieved by the solenoidal detector configuration. The magnet provides an uniform magnetic field of 1.2 tesla over a cylindrical volume of 0.85m in diameter and 1.0m in length. Anti-helium nuclei will be searched for to a level of anti-He/He is similar to 10(-8) and the low energy primary anti-proton flux will be observed down to anti-proton/proton is similar to 10(-6). The superconducting magnet has been constructed and excited to 1 tesla and showed good and stable performance. The main tracking device, jet type drift chamber, together with the readout electronics and data acquisition system have been assembled and tested. A flight to test the detector performance at the balloon altitude was successfully carried out in September 1989.

    気球搭載用超伝導ソレノイドマグネットとジェット型ドリフトチェンバーを用いた大型のスペクトロメータの製作を現在進めている。この測定器により反ヘリウムを<He>^^^-/He&acd;10^<-8>の微量まで探索し, かつ特に低エネルギーの反陽子のエネルギースペクトラムを測定することによって宇宙起源反陽子を探す。同時に本測定器ではガンマ線をコイルで電子陽電子対にコンバートさせることによりそのエネルギー及び方向を精度良く測定できる。また宇宙線中の陽電子についてもこれまで指摘されているような10GeV以上での流束過剰の存在についても調べることができると思われる。63年6月にプロトタイプの小型測定器を三陸より気球で打ち上げほぼ期待された性能を得ることができた。本年度中に大方の測定器を完成させ, 来年以降観測を始める予定で現在準備を進めている。
