Scientific paper

We report on the absolute cosmic-ray proton spectrum in the energy range 1 to 120 GeV as measured by the '98 balloon flight of the BESS spectrometer, which was launched from Lynn Lake, Manitoba, Canada. The rigidity of the cosmic-ray was measured reliably by continuous tracking in a uniform magnetic field of Ü and 1 Tesla. Background-free particle identifications were achieved by the combination of redundant TOF measurements. The interaction loss was corrected by using Monte Carlo simulations. Atmospheric secondary protons were subtracted by adopting the calculation of Papini et al..
