Summary
Among the several existent proposals for the cosmic antimatter search, the Wi#x005A-0304;ard project for the U.S. Space Station Freedom shows the greatest interest. A possible upgrading of the Wi#x005A-0304;ard apparatus, called Wi#x005A-0304;ard 2, is presented in order to sensibly improve the capability of detecting antihelium nuclei in the cosmic radiation.
Riassunto
Fra tutte le varie proposte esistenti nell’ambito della ricerca di antimateria cosmica, il progetto Wi#x005A-0304;ard per la Stazione Spaziale americana Freedom si dimostra del piú grande interesse. Si presenta un possibile ampliamento dell’apparato Wi#x005A-0304;ard allo scopo di migliorare sensibilmente la capacità di rivelare nuclei di antielio nella radiazione cosmica.
