Description
HELIX is a balloon-borne experiment designed to measure the chemical and isotopic abundances of light cosmic ray nuclei. HELIX is designed to achieve an event-by-event mass resolution of 3%. The detector consists of a 1 Tesla superconducting magnet, a high-resolution drift-chamber tracker, a time-of-flight detector, and a ring-imaging Cherenkov detector. HELIX had a successful engineering flight in the summer of 2024 in Kiruna, Sweden. The status of flight data analysis and development for the next flight detector will be shared.
