Cosmic-ray isotope measurements with HELIX

HELIX (High Energy Light Isotope eXperiment) is a balloon-borne experiment designed to measure the chemical and isotopic abundances of light cosmic-ray nuclei. Detailed measurements by HELIX, especially of long-lived nuclei, Be-10, in an energy range from ∼0.2 GeV/n to beyond 10 GeV/n, will provide essential insights into the propagation processes of cosmic rays in the Galaxy.
