The low-energy antiproton flux measurement of Buffinton et al. (1981) is more than an order of magnitude higher than can be explained by interstellar production. It has been suggested that the excess antiprotons may be created by supernovae in very dense regions of ISM. These sources would provide the additional target material necessary to produce the excess cosmic ray antiprotons; in addition, adiabatic energy losses due to supernova expansion will increase the flux of low-energy antiprotons. The antiproton flux from such sources is examined here, with attention given to the energy loss effects of the adiabatic and collisional losses of both the primary and secondary cosmic ray fluxes. Ionization losses of the antiprotons are also considered.
