Observation of an anomalous positron abundance in the cosmic radiation
O. Adriani, G. C. Barbarino, G. A. Bazilevskaya +48
Positrons are known to be produced in interactions between cosmic-ray nuclei and interstellar matter ("secondary production"). Positrons may, however, also be created by dark matte…
First Results from the PAMELA Space Mission
M. Boezio, V. Bonvicini, G. Jerse +53
On the 15th of June 2006, the PAMELA satellite-borne experiment was launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome and it has been collecting data since July 2006. The apparatus comprises a…
A new measurement of the antiproton-to-proton flux ratio up to 100 GeV in the cosmic radiation
O. Adriani, G. C. Barbarino, G. A. Bazilevskaya +50
A new measurement of the cosmic ray antiproton-to-proton flux ratio between 1 and 100 GeV is presented. The results were obtained with the PAMELA experiment, which was launched int…
NEMO: A Project for a km Underwater Detector for Astrophysical Neutrinos in the Mediterranean Sea
I. Amore
The status of the project is described: the activity on long term characterization of water optical and oceanographic parameters at the Capo Passero site candidate for the Mediterr…
Launch of the Space experiment PAMELA
M. Casolino, P. Picozza, F. Altamura +56
PAMELA is a satellite borne experiment designed to study with great accuracy cosmic rays of galactic, solar, and trapped nature in a wide energy range protons: 80 MeV-700 GeV, elec…
Neutrino astronomy with the MACRO detector
M. Ambrosio
High energy gamma ray astronomy is now a well established field and several sources have been discovered in the region from a few GeV up to several TeV. If sources involving hadron…
