Description

A precision measurement by AMS of the antiproton flux and
the antiproton-to-proton flux ratio in primary cosmic rays in the
absolute rigidity range from 1 to 450 GV is presented based on $3.49 \times 10^5$ antiproton events and $2.42 \times 10^9$ proton events. The
antiproton-to-proton flux ratio reaches a maximum at ∼20 GV and is
rigidity independent above 60.3 GV.
