Scientific paper

An attempt was made to use the Mariia-2 spectrometer onboard the Mir orbital station to detect antiproton fluxes at the spurs of the earth's radiation belt in the region of the Brazilian geomagnetic anomaly. Analysis results indicate that a finite antiproton flux was not detected in the radiation belt. It can thus be concluded that the upper limit to the antiproton/proton ratio in the energy range of several dozen MeV does not exceed 0.01, which evidently excludes the possibility of the generation and accumulation of antiprotons in the radiation belt on account of some unknown processes.
