95. Ultra-high energy cosmic rays with the Pierre Auger Observatory

Lorenzo Perrone (Università del Salento and INFN Sezione di Lecce)

9/9/22, 9:00 AM

In the era of the multi-messenger astronomy, ultra-high energy cosmic rays offer the unique opportunity to investigate the nature of astrophysical sources and of particle interactions in an energy range far beyond that covered by current particle accelerators.
The Pierre Auger Observatory, the world's largest cosmic ray detector, combines in a hybrid design the information from fluorescence...

40. Last results from the AMS-02 experiment

Manuela Vecchi

9/9/22, 9:30 AM

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a large acceptance magnetic spectrometer operating onboard the International Space Station since May 19th 2011 and is expected to operate in space until the end of the lifetime of the space station. AMS-02 so far detected more than 200 billion cosmic-ray events.
The detector's main goals are to search for antimatter and dark matter in space and the...

8. Latest results from the DAMPE space mission

Ivan De Mitri (GSSI & INFN)

9/9/22, 10:00 AM

The space-based DAMPE (DArk Matter Particle Explorer) particle detector has been taking data for more than 6 years since its successful launch in December 2015. Its main scientific goals include the indirect search of Dark Matter signatures in the cosmic lepton spectra, the study of Galactic Cosmic Rays up to energies of hundreds of TeV and studies on high-energy gamma ray astronomy. This talk...

15. Attaining the PeV frontier of the cosmic ray spectrum in space with HERD

Chiara Perrina (EPFL)

9/9/22, 10:30 AM

The High Energy cosmic-Radiation Detection facility (HERD) is a calorimetric experiment planned to be launched in 2027. It will be operational for at least 10 years onboard the China’s Space Station. With HERD we will measure the energy spectrum of cosmic protons and heavier nuclei from 30 GeV to, for the first time in space, a few PeV. We will search for annihilation and decay products of...
