The Balloon-borne Experiment with a Superconducting Spectrometer (BESS) has been carried out to search for primordial antiparticles in cosmic rays. In ten flights from 1993 to 2004, it measured the cosmic-ray.antiproton spectrum in the energy range 0.1-4.2 GeV at various solar activity conditions. It also searched for antideuterons and antilielium nuclei, and it made precise measurement of cosmicray particle spectra. The BESS program has been extended to long duration balloon (LDB) flights in Antarctica (BESS-Polar) with the goal of achieving unprecedented sensitivity in the search for primordial antiparticles. This report describes recent results from BESS and progress of the BESS-Polar program. (c) 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of COSPAR.
