An accelerator beam test was performed using a low-energy antiproton beam to measure the antiproton detection efficiency of the BESS detector. Measured and calculated efficiencies derived from the BESS Monte Carlo simulation based on GEANT/GHEISHA showed good agreement. With the detailed verification of the BESS simulation, results demonstrate that the relative systematic error in detection efficiency derived from the BESS simulation is within ± 5%, being previously estimated as ± 15% which was the dominant uncertainty for measurements of cosmic-ray antiproton flux.
