Abstract

The Gamma-Ray Imager/Polarimeter for Solar flares (GRIPS) is a balloon-borne telescope designed to study solar-flare particle acceleration and transport. We describe GRIPS's first Antarctic long-duration flight in Jan 2016 and report preliminary calibration and science results. Electron and ion dynamics, particle abundances and the ambient plasma conditions in solar flares can be understood by examining hard X-ray (HXR) and gamma-ray emission (20 keV to 10 MeV) with enhanced imaging, spectroscopy and polarimetry. GRIPS is specifically designed to answer questions including: What causes the spatial separation between energetic electrons producing HXRs and energetic ions producing gamma-ray lines? How anisotropic are the relativistic electrons, and why can they dominate in the corona? How do the compositions of accelerated and ambient material vary with space and time, and why? GRIPS's key technological improvements over the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) include 3D position-sensitive germanium detectors (3D-GeDs) and a single-grid, multi-pitch rotating modulator (MPRM) collimator. The 3D-GeDs have spectral FWHM resolution of a few hundred keV and spatial resolution $<$1 mm$^3$. For photons that Compton scatter, usually $\gtrsim$150 keV, the energy deposition sites can be tracked, providing polarization measurements as well as enhanced background reduction. The MPRM single-grid design provides twice the throughput of a bi-grid imaging system like RHESSI. The grid is composed of 2.5 cm thick W/Cu slats with 1-13 mm variable slit pitch, achieving quasi-continuous FWHM angular coverage over 12.5-162 arcsecs. This resolution is capable of imaging the separate magnetic loop footpoint emissions in a variety of flare sizes.

Abstract

The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is a balloon-borne experiment, scheduled for a first flight in the austral summer 2022. It is designed to measure low energy (< 0.25 GeV/n) cosmic antinuclei. A particular focus is on antideuterons, which are predicted to have an ultra-low astrophysical background as compared to signals from dark matter annihilation or decay in the Galactic halo. GAPS uses a novel technique for particle identification based on the formation and decay of exotic atoms. To achieve sufficient rejection power for particle identification, an accurate determination of several fundamental quantities is needed. The precise reconstruction of the energy deposition pattern on the primary track is a particularly intricate problem and we developed a strategy devised to solve this using modern machine learning techniques. In the future, this approach can also be used for particle identification. Here, we present preliminary results of these efforts obtained from simulations.

Abstract

The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) experiment is a balloon payload designed to measure low-energy cosmic antinuclei during at least three $\sim$35-day Antarctic flights, with the first flight planned for December, 2022. With its large geometric acceptance and novel exotic atom-based particle identification method, GAPS will detect $\sim$1000 antiprotons per flight, producing a precision cosmic antiproton spectrum in the kinetic energy range of $0.03 - 0.23$ GeV/$n$ at float altitude (corresponding to $0.085- 0.30$ GeV/$n$ at the top of the atmosphere). With these high statistics in a measurement extending to lower energy than any previous experiment, and with orthogonal sources of systematic uncertainty compared to measurements made using traditional magnetic spectrometer techniques, the GAPS antiproton measurement will be sensitive to physics including dark matter annihilation, primordial black hole evaporation, and cosmic ray propagation. The antiproton measurement will also validate the GAPS exotic atom technique for the antideuteron and antihelium rare-event searches and provide insight into models of cosmic particle attenuation and production in the atmosphere. This contribution demonstrates the GAPS sensitivity to antiprotons using a full instrument simulation, event reconstruction, and solar and atmospheric effects.

Abstract

At low energies, cosmic antideuterons and antihelium provide an ultra-low background signature of dark matter annihilation, decay, and other beyond the Standard Model phenomena. The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is an Antarctic balloon experiment designed to search for lowenergy (0.1−0.3 GeV/n) antinuclei, and is planned to launch in the austral summer of 2022. While optimized for an antideuteron search, GAPS also has unprecedented capabilites for the detection of low-energy antihelium nuclei, utilizing a novel detection technique based on the formation, decay, and annihilation of exotic atoms. The AMS-02 collaboration has recently reported several antihelium nuclei candidate events, which sets GAPS in a unique position to set constraints on the cosmic antihelium flux in an energy region which is essentially free of astrophysical background. In this contribution, we illustrate the capabilities of GAPS to search for cosmic antihelium-3 utilizing complete instrument simulations, event reconstruction, and the inclusion of atmospheric effects. We show that GAPS is capable of setting unprecedented limits on the cosmic antihelium flux, opening a new window on exotic cosmic physics.
