Scientific paper

To study cosmic protons, helium and CNO components (E=100-500 MeV/n) together with Hard X-rays (E=30-120 keV) of auroral, solar and/or cosmic origins, the Polar Patrol Balloon no. 6 (PPB #6) was launched from Syowa Station, Antarctica on January 5, 1993 by the 34th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition. PPB#6 moved westward by 1.5 circumpolar rounds over Antarctica covering 6-13 g/sq cm atmospheric depth and 63-70 deg S geographic latitude. The cosmic radiation intensity was measured by the detector system on PPB#6. This paper shows the cosmic proton intensity as a function of the geomagnetic rigidity and the proton spectra at invariant latitude of 55 deg, 80 deg, and at the cusp latitude.
