“…This magnet has been provided by KEK and has been installed in 2006 at DESY, initially funded by the EU-FP6 EUDET project [1]. The PCMAG magnet has a superconducting coil which can produce fields of up to 1.25 T. At its operational current of 438 A the field in the center has a strength of 1 T. Originally, the PCMAG was designed for airborne experiments [16]. It has therefore been designed to be very lightweight and without a return yoke.…”

DESY Hamburg operates a test beam facility with three independent beam lines at the DESY II synchrotron. It is world-wide one of very few facilities providing test beams in the GeV range. To this end, it offers electron/positron beams with user-selectable momenta from 1-6 GeV/c. The available infrastructure for the users is unique, including a high field solenoidal magnet and permanently installed high-precision pixel beam telescopes. This publication gives a detailed description of the facility, the available infrastructure, and the simulated and measured performance.

“…BESS is a magnetic-rigidity spectrometer with large geometrical acceptance, using a thin superconducting solenoidal magnet and a high-resolution drift-chamber tracking system (Orito 1987, Yamamoto et al 1994, Ajima et al 2000. This spectrometer is coupled to a state-of-the-art time-of-flight (TOF) system and a silica-aerogel Cherenkov counter (ACC).…”

Measurement of Low-Energy Cosmic-Ray Antiprotons at Solar Minimum

The absolute fluxes of the cosmic-ray antiprotons at solar minimum are measured in the energy range 0.18 to 1.4 GeV, based on 43 events unambiguously detected in BESS '95 data. The resultant energy spectrum appears to be flat below 1 GeV, compatible with a possible admixture of primary antiproton component with a soft energy spectrum, while the possibility of secondary antiprotons alone explaining the data cannot be excluded with the present accuracy. Further improvement of statistical accuracy and extension of the energy range are planned in future BESS flights.Comment: REVTeX, 4 pages including 4 eps figures. Submitted to PR
