内容記述 | The Advanced Thin Ionization Calorimeter (ATIC) experiment measures the energy spectra of individual elements, from H to Fe, in the energy region from about 100 GeV to tens of TeV. The ATIC instrument was flown twice in long-duration balloon flights around the South Pole in 2000-2001 (ATIC-1) and 2002-2003 (ATIC-2). ATIC-2 gathered about 18 days of data at an altitude of 36 km. In this paper we discuss the separation of protons from helium and present preliminary energy spectrum of each component, including deconvolution of the measured energy deposit spectra. The results are compared to previous data and to different cosmic ray propagation models, including a diffusion model with weak re-acceleration. |
