The main source of the ionization of the Earth's atmosphere is the cosmic radiation that
depends on solar activity as well as geomagnetic activity. Galactic cosmic rays constitute a …

In this paper, we describe in detail the design and the construction of the magnetic
spectrometer of the PAMELA experiment, that will be launched during 2003 to do a precise …

In most cosmological models, primordial black holes (pbh) should have formed in the early
Universe. Their Hawking evaporation into particles could eventually lead to the formation of …

The radiation hardness of 180 nm complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) and
55 nm bipolar–CMOS–double-diffused MOS single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) is …

Photonic ring resonators can be considered building blocks of new concept satellite
payloads for implementing several functions, such as filtering and sensing. In particular, the …

The PAMELA apparatus has been assembled and it is ready to be launched in a satellite
mission to study mainly the antiparticle component of cosmic rays. In this paper, the …

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 …

We studied the variation of e+ and top of the atmosphere spectra due to the parameter
uncertainties of the Milky Way geometry, propagation models and cross sections. We used …

The PAMELA (Adriani et al., Nucl. Instr. and Meth. A 478 (2002) 114)(a Payload for
Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light-nuclei Astrophysics) satellite-borne experiment …

The effect of the Earth's ionosphere represents the single largest contribution to the Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) error budget and abnormal ionospheric conditions can …
