Scientific paper

A tracking calorimeter made of 3200 brass streamer tubes together with 3200 pick-up strips has been built to complement a magnetic spectrometer in order to detect cosmic antiprotons in space. The characteristics of such a calorimeter, the results of a preliminary test of a prototype, and the properties of the whole apparatus are presented. The apparatus, designed to operate on a balloon at an altitude of about 40 km, can be considered as a second-generation detector, capable in principle of solving the problem of the presence of low energy (1 GeV/c or less) antiprotons in the cosmic rays.
