Abstract

The spectra of low-energy cosmic-ray protons and antiprotons have been measured by BESS in nine high-latitude balloon flights between 1993 and 2004. These measurements span a range of Solar activity from before the previous Solar minimum through Solar maximum and the onset of the present Solar minimum, as well as a Solar magnetic field reversal from positive to negative in 2000. Because protons and antiprotons differ only in charge sign, simultaneous measurements provide a sensitive probe of charge-dependent Solar modulation. The antiproton to proton ratio measured by BESS is consistent with simple spherically symmetric models of Solar modulation during the Sun's positive polarity phase, but requires charge-sign-dependent drift models during the negative phase. The BESS measurements are presented and compared to models of Solar modulation.
