AI中文摘要：
HELIX探测器是一种用于测量轻（Z<11）宇宙射线同位素通量的气球携带仪器。本文描述了HELIX的初始配置，该配置针对约0.2 GeV每核子至超过3 GeV每核子能量范围的测量进行了优化。除基于1特斯拉超导磁体和漂移室跟踪器的光谱仪外，HELIX还采用基于闪烁体的飞行时间计数器和环形成像切伦科夫探测器，可逐事件重建初级粒子的质量、电荷和磁刚度。
英文摘要：
The HELIX detector is a balloon-borne instrument designed to measure the flux of light (Z < 11) cosmic-ray isotopes. In this paper we describe the initial configuration of HELIX, optimized for measurements in the energy range from approximately 0.2 GeV per nucleon to beyond 3 GeV per nucleon. In addition to a spectrometer, which is based on a one-tesla superconducting magnet and a drift-chamber tracker, HELIX employs scintillator-based time-of-flight counters and a ring-imaging Cherenkov detector, allowing event-by-event reconstruction of primary particle mass, charge, and magnetic rigidity.
