N1 - Funding Information:
This work was supported by NASA contract NNN06AA01C. I appreciate conversations on solar gamma ray events with Ron Murp, whho pryovided RHESSI spectral data, and Gerry Share. This work would not have been possible without years of dedicated work by the PSP EPI-Hi instrument team members at Caltech, Southwest Research Institute, Goddard Space Flight Center, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the University of New Hampshire, the University of Arizona, and the University of Delaware.

N2 - 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 10Be from 0.2 GeV/n to beyond 3 GeV/n, will provide an essential set of data for the study of propagation processes of the cosmic rays. HELIX consists of a 1 Tesla superconducting magnet with a high-resolution gas tracking system, time-of-flight detector, and a ring-imaging Cherenkov detector. The instrument is scheduled to have a long-duration balloon flight out of McMurdo Station during NASA0s 2020/21 Antarctic balloon campaign. Here, we discuss the scientific goals and the design of the experiment, and report on its current status.
