Even at our >5,000 ft altitude we get more cosmic rays and EUV than low-landers, Michel.
This "Does Antimatter Fall Up or Down?" article is of interest too. http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/ParticleAndNuclear/antimatterFall.html "In theory, antimatter dropped over the surface of the Earth should fall down. However, the issue has never been successfully experimentally tested. The theoretical grounds for expecting antimatter to fall down are very strong, so virtually all physicists expect antimatter to fall down -- however, some physicists believe that antimatter might fall down with a different acceleration than that of ordinary matter. Since this has never been experimentally tested, it's important to keep an open mind."
