Abstract content
BESS-Polar II (the 2nd version of the BESS-Polar spectrometer) has been prepared for the next Antarctic campaign planned in December 2007. The aim of the experiment is precise measurement of the low-energy antiproton spectrum and to search for antimatter at this solar minimum period, with 5 times higher sensitivity than the total of previous measurements in BESS-Polar I. Most of the detector components have been redesigned and upgraded to improve their performance and to increase the data taking period and capacity. In this conference, the instrument description and status update will be presented.
