The balloon-b orne CAPRICE98 instrument was flown on 28-29 May 1998 from Fort Sumner, New Mexico, USA. The detector configuration included the NMSU-WiZard/CAPRICE magnetic spectrometer equipp ed with a gas ring imaging Cherenkov detector (RICH), a silicon-tungsten calorimeter and a time-of-flight system. Deuterons were identified by using the RICH as a threshold device. This allowed for the first measurement of the deuterium flux at kinetic energies above 2 GeV/n. We report the results on the energy spectrum of the primary cosmic-ray deuterons and on the deuteron to helium ratio between 12 GeV/n and 22 GeV/n.
