Description

A precision measurement of the proton flux in primary cosmic rays with rigidity 1 GV to 1.8 TV is presented based on 300 million events. The results show that proton flux is smooth and exhibits no sharp structures with rigidity. The detailed variation with rigidity of the flux spectral index is presented for the first time. The spectral index is progressively hardening at high rigidities.
