Abstract: | We have calculated the energy spectra of cosmic ray secondary antiprotons and positrons using the latest available data on inclusive reactions. Using the measured positron spectrum, we have found that the amount of matter traversed by the cosmic rays in the few GeV region to bem≈4.7±1.5 g cm?2 of interstellar hydrogen. The computed antiproton to proton ratio is about 4×10?4 for energies 5–10 GeV. This is sufficient to make observations of antiprotons feasible from balloon flights. We have also pointed out the type of information that can be obtained if accurate information of the spectra of these two components becomes available. |
