  2. 1. The Anticoincidence System of the PAMELA Satellite Experiment : Design of the data acquisition system and performance studies

    Author : Johan Lundquist; Mark Pearce; Tony Weidberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PAMELA; satellites; astroparticle physics; electronics; anticoincidence system; trigger system; Astroparticle physics; Astropartikelfysik;

    Abstract : PAMELA is a satellite-borne cosmic ray experiment. Its primary scientific objective is to study the antiproton and positron components of the cosmic radiation. This will be done with unprecedented statistics over a wide energy range (~10MeV to ~100GeV). READ MORE

  5. 3. Studies of cosmic rays with the anticoincidence system of the PAMELA satellite experiment

    Author : Silvio Orsi; Mark Pearce; Martin Pohl; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; astrophysics; astroparticle physics; antimatter; organic scintillators; cosmic rays; trapped particles; Astroparticle physics; Astropartikelfysik;

    Abstract : PAMELA is a satellite-borne experiment designed to study the charged component of the cosmic radiation of galactic, solar and trapped nature. The main scientific objective is the study of the antimatter component of cosmic rays over a wide range of energies (antiprotons: 80 MeV–190 GeV, positrons: 50 MeV–270 GeV). READ MORE

  6. 4. The Anticoincidence Shield of the PAMELA Satellite Experiment

    Author : Silvio Orsi; KTH; []
    Keywords : astrophysics; particle physics; antimatter; organic scintillators;

    Abstract : The PAMELA space experiment is scheduled for launch towards the end of 2004 on-board a Russian Resurs DK1 satellite, orbiting Earth at an altitude of 300– 600 km. The main scientific goal is a study of the antimatter component of the cosmic radiation. The semipolar orbit (70. READ MORE

  7. 5. PoGOLite : The Polarised Gamma-ray Observer

    Author : Cecilia Marini Bettolo; Mark Pearce; Christian Bohm; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : PoGOLite is a balloon-borne experiment which will study polarised soft gamma-ray emission from astrophysical targets in the 25 keV – 80 keV energy range by applying well-type phoswich detector technology. Polarised gamma-rays are expected from a wide variety of sources including rotation-powered pulsars, accreting black holes and neutron stars, and jet-dominated active galaxies. READ MORE
