ATIC Experiment: Preliminary Results from the Flight in 2002
Abstract
Abstract The Advanced Thin Ionization Calorimeter (ATIC) had successful Long Duration Balloon flights from McMurdo, Antarctica in both 2000 and 2002. The instrument consists of a Silicon matrix for charge measurement, a flared graphite target to induce nuclear interactions, scintillator strip hodoscopes for triggering and helping reconstruct trajectory, and a BGO calorimeter to measure the energy of incident particles. In this paper, we discuss the second flight, which lasted 20 days, starting on 12/29/02. Preliminary results from the on-going analysis of the data including the proton and helium spectra are reported.
