0.215–21.5 GeV/n at different solar activities during a period from 1997 to 2002. The
observations were carried out with the BESS spectrometer launched on a balloon at Lynn
Lake, Canada. A calculation for the correction of secondary particle backgrounds from the
overlying atmosphere was improved by using the measured spectra at small atmospheric
depths ranging from 5 through 37g/cm2. The uncertainties including statistical and …
