Abstract
The balloon-borne experiment "IMAX" launched from Lynn Lake, Canada in 1992 has been used to measure the cosmic ray proton and helium spectra from 0.2 GeV/n to about 200 GeV/n. The IMAX apparatus was designed to search for antiprotons and light isotopes using a superconducting magnet spectrometer with ancillary scintillators, time-of-flight, and aerogel cherenkov detectors. Using redundant detectors an extensive examination of the instrument efficiency was carried out. We present here the absolute spectra of protons and helium corrected to the top of the atmosphere.
