Zusammenfassung:This work is devoted to the calculation of the fluxes of the atmospheric antiprotons and antineutrons generated at various atmospheric depths, lying from 5 to 300 g/cm2. The simulations are carried out with the help of CORSIKA package involving a primary energy spectrum starting at the energy threshold of antiparticle production up to 1 PeV. The obtained results match well with the atmospheric antiproton spectra measured by the BESS-2001 experiment in the kinetic energy range 1-3 GeV.
