Cosmic rays
The nine years of data taking in space of the experiment PAMELA are
providing interesting information concerning the origin and
propagation of both galactic and solar cosmic rays.
The measured antiparticle component of the cosmic radiation shows
features that can be interpreted in terms of dark matter annihilation or
pulsar contribution. The precise measurements of the energy spectra...

Cosmic rays
The satellite-borne PAMELA experiment has been continuously collecting data
since it was launched on 15th June 2006, from the Baikonur cosmodrome.
The instrument, particularly suited for particle and antiparticle identification,
has detected the charged component of cosmic rays over a wide energy range
and with unprecedented statistics.
The instrumental characteristics and the...

Cosmic rays
The PAMELA space experiment is providing first direct observations of Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) with energies from about 80 MeV to several GeV in near-Earth orbit, bridging the low energy measurements by other spacecrafts and the Ground Level Enhancement (GLE) data by the worldwide network of neutron monitors. Its unique observational capabilities include the possibility of measuring...
