S. Straulino, O. Adriani, L. Bonechi, M. Bongi, more

Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A > 2004 > 530 > 1-2 > 168-172

The silicon tracker of the PAMELA apparatus has been assembled and it is ready to fly on-board the Russian satellite Resurs DK for a 3-year mission. The experiment will study, mainly, spectra of particles and antiparticles in cosmic rays. The magnetic spectrometer's primary goal is to precisely measure momenta of charged particles, whose trajectories have been bent by a permanent magnet. The detector...

The PAMELA apparatus is dedicated to study cosmic rays on board of a satellite mission scheduled to start at the beginning of 2004. All the electronics components of such a mission have to be chosen carefully, because no replacement is possible after launch. Irradiation tests have been performed in order to study effects of highly ionizing particles on chips and to evaluate thresholds for Single Event...

The WiZaxd-PAMELA detector will be ready within some months to be installed on board of the Russian satellite Resurs-DK1. The satellite will follow, for at least 3 years, a quasi polar orbit with an inclination of 70.4° with respect to the equatorial plane. The experiment will allow the measurement of the antiproton and positron spectra within a wide momentum range and the search for light anti-nuclei...

F. Taccetti, O. Adriani, L. Bonechi, M. Bongi, more

Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A > 2002 > 485 > 1-2 > 78-83

The Pamela apparatus will be launched at the end of 2002 on board of the Resurs DK Russian satellite. The tracking system, composed of six planes of silicon sensors inserted inside a permanent magnetic field was intensively tested during these last years. Results of tests have shown a good signal-to-noise ratio and an excellent spatial resolution, which should allow to measure the antiproton flux...

Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A > 2002 > 478 > 1-2 > 114-118

The PAMELA equipment will be assembled in 2001 and installed on board the Russian satellite Resurs. PAMELA is conceived mainly to study the antiproton and positron fluxes in cosmic rays up to high energy (190GeV for p and 270GeV for e ⁺ ) and to search antinuclei, up to 30GeV/n, with a sensitivity of 10 ^- ⁷ in the He/He ratio. The PAMELA telescope consists of: a magnetic spectrometer...

Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A > 2001 > 461 > 1-3 > 262-268

We provide in this paper a status report of the space experiment PAMELA. PAMELA aims primarily to measure the flux of antiparticles, namely antiprotons and positrons, in cosmic rays with unprecedented statistics over a large energy range. In addition, it will measure the light nuclear components of cosmic rays, investigate phenomena connected to Solar and Earth physics and it will search for cosmic...
