  2. 1. Antiparticle identification studies for the PAMELA satellite experiment

    Author : Jens Lund; Mark Pearce; Tuneyoshi Kamae; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Space technology; PAMEL; satellites; astroparticle physics; antiparticles; calorimeters; Rymdteknik; Space engineering; Rymdteknik;

    Abstract : The PAMELA satellite experiment will soon be launched and during its 3 year mission perform measurement of charged particle fluxes in the cosmic radiation. PAMELA is specifically designed to identify antiprotons and positrons in the vast background of other charged particles. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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. 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

  6. 4. Contributions of Satellite Geodesy to Post-Glacial Rebound Research

    Author : Seyed Mehdi Shafiei Joud; Lars E. Sjöberg; Mohammad Bagherbandi; Martin Horwath; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Glacial Isostatic Adjustment GIA ; gravimetric GIA modelling; satellite geodesy; Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment GRACE ; independent component analysis ICA ; Geodesy and Geoinformatics; Geodesi och geoinformatik;

    Abstract : Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) is a global and long-term process in the Earth, which began 21.5 millennia ago, according to many ice history modellers. One way to understand the processes of the Earth’s interior, the crustal deformation, and a key correction to estimate the climatological parameters is obtained by studying GIA. READ MORE

  7. 5. Study on the Earth’s Surface Mass Variations using Satellite Gravimetry Observations

    Author : Hadi Amin; Mohammad Bagherbandi; Lars Sjöberg; Faramarz Nilfouroushan; Martin Horwath; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; geodetic reference system; geoid potential; global vertical datum; climate change; global warming; mass change; ice melting; sea-level change; remote sensing; satellite gravimetry; geodetiska referenssystem; geopotential; globala vertikala datum; klimatförändring; global uppvärmning; massförändring; issmältning; havsnivåförändring; fjärranalys; satellitgravimetri;

    Abstract : Our complex planet is continuously undergoing temporal and spatial changes. In this context, ongoing processes in the Earth subsystems (geosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere) cause changes in the gravity field of the Earth across a wide range of temporal and spatial scales.
