The PAMELA experiment is a satellite-borne apparatus that performs measurements of the cosmic radiation with a particular focus on antiparticles and light nuclei. The heart of experiment is a magnetic spectrometer to measure the particle rigidity and sign of charge.

Abstract

The PAMELA experiment is a satellite-borne apparatus that performs measurements of the cosmic radiation with a particular focus on antiparticles and light nuclei. The heart of experiment is a magnetic spectrometer to measure the particle rigidity and sign of charge. A Time-of-Flight system, a Silicon-Tungsten calorimeter, and a neutron detector allow particle identification and lepton/hadron discrimination. The apparatus is surrounded by a set of anticoincidence scintillation counters to reject multi-particle events. In this work we will present the Boron and Carbon fluxes measured by PAMELA from July 2006 to March 2008. Such data, and in particular the B/C flux ratio, can help the modelling of the galactic cosmic rays propagation. This can be a crucial point in predicting the astrophysical background of antimatter (positrons and antiprotons) in cosmic rays in the search for a dark matter signal. © 2013 Sociedade Brasileira de Fisica.
