A wide Range of Measurements:
• Search for Antimatter ( p, He, e+ ) and Dark Matter• Study of Cosmic Ray Propagation: p, He, e-, B, C• Solar Particles• Solar Modulation• Interactions between energetic Particles and the Earth Magnetic Field
We published results in all these fields
Antiparticles (antiprotons, positrons), secondaries from homogeneously distributed interstellar matter (light nuclei)

• Tuning of cosmic-ray propagation models with measurements of secondary/primary flux ratio
• 2H/1H and 3He/4He are complimentary to B/C measurements in constraining propagation models (Coste et al., A&A 539 (2012) A88)
