40. Cosmic rays: direct measurements

Roberta Sparvoli (ROMA2)

19/06/2018, 16:30

In this talk I will review the field of cosmic ray measurements by direct observations. A wealth of new results obtained by balloon-borne and space-based experiments have enriched the field, covering several observation targets from nuclei and isotopes, to electrons and positrons, to antiprotons, measured over six decades in energy from few MeV up to some TeV. The measurements from the...

116. AMS-02, result and perspectives

Paolo Zuccon (TIFP)

19/06/2018, 17:15

I will review the AMS-02 data and the measurements performed in the first 7-years of data taking. I will then discuss the perspectives of the AMS-02 cosmic ray data in the landscape of the current puzzling scenario of the astroparticle physics.

5. A decade of Cosmic Rays Investigation with the PAMELA Experiment

Matteo Martucci (LNF)

It was the 15th of June 2006 when the PAMELA satellite-borne experiment was launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Then, for nearly ten years, PAMELA has been making high-precision measurements of the charged component of the cosmic radiation opening a new era of precision studies in cosmic-ray physics. The measured antiparticle component of the cosmic radiation shows features...

135. Results form the DAMPE space mission

Prof. Ivan De Mitri (GSSI & INFN)

The DAMPE (DArk Matter Particle Explorer) satellite was launched on December 17th, 2015 and is in smooth data taking since few days after. It was designed in order to properly work for at least three years and, thanks to its deep calorimeter, the precise tracking, and a large geometric factor, is providing high quality measurements of leptonic and hadronic spectra up to about 10 and 100...

2. Measurement of Deuteron over Proton flux ratio among CR with the AMS-02 experiment

Mr Francesco Dimiccoli (TIFPA)

19/06/2018, 18:45

Deuterons are the most abundant secondary light isotopes among cosmic rays (CR) and thus are an extremely sensitive tool to test and constrain cosmic ray propagation models. Another important feature of the deuteron component of CR is the particularly low threshold of the proton-proton fusion reaction, one of the most important contributors of the sub-GeV deuteron abundance, an energy range...

22. The satellite-based detector HERD: precise high-energy cosmic rays' physics and multimessenger astronomy.

Paolo Walter Cattaneo (PV)

A few years from now, the HERD (High Energy Cosmic Radiation Detection) detector will be installed on the China's Space Station. The main science objectives of HERD are searching dark matter particle, study of cosmic ray chemical composition up to the knee and high energy gamma-ray observations. The main constraints imposed on HERD are: total weight less than around 2 tons and total power...
