A new measurement of the primary cosmic ray spectra was performed during the balloon-borne CAPRICE experiment in 1998. This apparatus consists of a magnet spectrometer, with a superconducting magnet and a driftchamber tracking device, a time of flight scintillator system, a silicon-tungsten imaging calorimeter and a gas ring imaging Cherenkov detector. This combination of state-of-the-art detectors provides excellent particle discrimination capabilities, such that detailed investigations of the antiproton, electron/positron, muon and primary components of cosmic rays have been performed. The analysis of the primary proton component is illustrated in this paper.
