Abstract

The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is a balloon-borne detector designed to measure low-energy (<0.25 GeV/n) antideuteron cosmic ray component as a low-background signal from dark matter annihilation or decay in the Galactic halo. The detector consists of a tracker, made up by ten planes of lithium-drifted silicon detectors, surrounded by a plastic scintillator time-of-flight (ToF) system. GAPS uses a novel technique for particle identification based on the formation and decay of exotic atoms. Here we present preliminary results for two reconstruction algorithms, one based on a classical approach and one on a deep learning approach, that have been tested on simulated events.
