Scientific paper

An account is given of a novel particle-annihilation technique for antimatter research which will be used in Antarctic balloonborne experiments. The capacity for particle-antiparticle discrimination in the detector is about 10 exp -9, as a result of combining the 10 exp -5 sensitivity of the Cherenkov technique confirmed via accelerator antiproton beams, and the 10 exp -4 sensitivity of topological methods. The 0.25 sq m detector carried by a polar balloon flight will reach flux sensitivities of 10 exp -7 for antiprotons and antihelium, but only 10 exp -6 for heavier nuclei.
