Above $\\sim60$ GV the antiproton to proton flux ratio is consistent with being rigidity independent. A decreasing behaviour is expected for this ratio considering the traditional models for the secondary antiproton flux.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-12-31T11:02:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "international space station", "alpha magnetic spectrometer", "precision measurement", "proton ratio", "absolute rigidity range" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
