TL;DR: It is found that the positron fraction increases sharply over much of that range, in a way that appears to be completely inconsistent with secondary sources, and is concluded that a primary source, be it an astrophysical object or dark matter annihilation, is necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI
PAMELA: A payload for antimatter matter exploration and light nuclei astrophysics
TL;DR: PAMELA as discussed by the authors is a satellite-borne experiment designed to study the charged component of the cosmic radiation, with particular emphasis on antiparticles, mounted on the Resurs DK1 satellite and has a foreseen lifetime of at least 3 years.

TL;DR: PAMELA as discussed by the authors 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, electrons 50 −MEV-400 �GeV).

TL;DR: The PAMELA project as mentioned in this paper is a satellite-borne experiment which primarily aims to measure the antiproton and positron spectra in the cosmic radii of the Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI
The anticoincidence shield of the PAMELA space experiment
TL;DR: The PAMELA space experiment was launched in 2005 onboard a Russian Resurs DK1 satellite, orbiting Earth at an altitude varying between 300 and 600 km as discussed by the authors, with the main scientific goal being a study of the effects of solar radiation.
