Astrophysics Research and Analysis
The GAPS Experiment: A Search for Dark Matter Using Low Energy Antiprotons and Antideuterons. University of California, Berkeley Co-I.
Project Description
This is a Co-I proposal in support of the PI lead proposal entitled "The GAPS experiment: a search for dark matter using low energy antiprotons and antideuterons" submitted by Prof. Charles Hailey, Columbia University. Our proposed program would support the UC Berkeley tasks on the GAPS experiment as detailed in our task statement. The primary focus of this work in on the development and testing of the Si(Li) readout electronics and support of the flight program and scientific analysis.

Anticipated Benefits
The Astrophysics Research and Analysis program (APRA) supports suborbital and suborbital-class investigations, development of detectors and supporting technology, laboratory astrophysics, and limited ground-based observing. Basic research proposals in these areas are solicited for investigations that are relevant to NASA's programs in astronomy and astrophysics, including the entire range of photons, gravitational waves, and particle astrophysics. The emphasis of this solicitation is on technologies and investigations that advance NASA astrophysics missions and goals.
