Antimatter and dark matter: lessons from ballooning.

Le résumé fourni par la source

The balloon measurements done by Victor Hess near Vienna in 1907 can be considered the birth of the Astroparticle physics. Until the advent of accelerators at the beginning of the years 50’s the study of the cosmic rays was the base for the most important discovers in particle physics. In the late 70’s the detection of antiprotons from space opened new horizons to the research of primary antimatter and signals of dark matter by balloonborne experiments using the technique developed for accelerator physics. Long Duration Flights in ARTICA and ANTARTICA will permit to overcome the limits of low statistics that limited the validity of these experiments in the study of fundamental physics.
