Abstract
THE question of the amount of anti-matter in the universe is an important one for cosmological theories. The cosmic radiation represents one sample of matter, which is mainly of galactic origin, and it is possible to set a limit to the concentration of energetic anti-matter, in this sample, in the form of anti-protons, from measurements on cosmic ray particles.
