Galactic Cosmic Ray Electrons and Positrons over a Decade of Observations in the PAMELA Experiment

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The PAMELA magnetic spectrometer was launched onboard the Resurs-DK1 satellite into a near-polar Earth orbit with an altitude of 350–600 km, in order to study fluxes of cosmic ray particles and antiparticles in the wide energy range of ~80 MeV to hundreds of GeV. The results from observations of electron and positron fluxes in 2006–2016 are presented.
