Abstract: The Balloon-borne Experiment with a Superconducting Spectrometer (BESS) was flown from Lynn Lake, Manitoba, Canada in August, 2000, during the maximum solar modulation period, with an average residual atmospheric overburden of 4.3g/cm2. Precise spectral measurements of cosmic ray hydrogen isotopes from 0.178GeV/n to 1.334GeV/n were made during the 28.7h of flight. This paper presents the measured energy spectra and their ratio, 2H/1H. The results are also compared with previous measurements and theoretical predictions. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
