Abstract

54siThe General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is the first experiment optimized to identify low energy (<0.25 GeV/n) cosmic antinuclei, in particular antideuterons from dark matter annihilation or decay. The GAPS program will deliver unprecedented sensitivity to cosmic antideuterons, an essentially background-free signature of various dark matter models, as well as a high-statistics antiproton spectrum in the unexplored low-energy range, and leading sensitivity to cosmic antihelium. GAPS is currently under construction. The first Antarctic balloon flight of GAPS is planned for late 2022, and two additional flights are planned for the coming years. Based on measurements of our custom-developed instrument technology, including large-area l...
