Scientific paper

A long-duration balloon flight in Antarctica is being prepared. Known as BESS-Polar, it aims at extremely sensitive measurement of low energy antiprotons to search for any novel primary origin and to study the cosmic-ray propagation and the solar modulation. The search for cosmic antimatter is a fundamental objective to study baryon asymmetry/symmetry in the Universe. The BESS experiment having an excellent rigidity resolution and large geometrical acceptance will maximize the advantage of long duration flights in Antarctica where the rigidity cutoff is very low. A very compact and thin superconducting magnet spectrometer is being developed to maximize the BESS-Polar scientific return. The progress and further plan is described.
