Description
The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is a satellite-based detector designed for precise studies of Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) up to energies of several hundred TeV. The satellite was successfully launched in December 2015 and has been continuously collecting data since then. DAMPE is characterized by exceptional energy resolution, large collected dataset of cosmic rays, and strong particle identification capabilities, owing to its large geometric factor, thick highly granular calorimeter, precise tracker and efficient charge detector.
In this work we focus on medium-to-high mass nuclei from Ne up to Ca (i.e. with charge Z ranging from 10 to 20) extending the individual spectral measurements to energies beyond the reach of previous experiments.
