Abstract

The GAPS experiment is foreseen to carry out a dark matter search using low energy cosmic-ray antideuterons at stratospheric altitudes using a novel detection approach. To prove the performance of the different GAPS detector components we carried out a GAPS prototype flight from Taiki, Japan in June 2012.
