卡洛里米电子望远镜(CALET)是一项空间实验，目前由日本与意大利和美国合作开发，它将测量能量高达20TeV的宇宙射线电子(和正电子)、高达10TeV的伽马射线流量，以及能量从1到40到1 PeV的原子核的伽马射线流量，并将在5年的飞行任务期间探测7keV至20 MeV能量范围的伽马射线暴。这些测量对于调查附近可能的高能电子天体物理源、研究银河系粒子传播的细节和寻找暗物质特征至关重要。CALET的主要探测器，即量热计，由一个识别粒子电荷的模块组成，然后是一个薄型成像量热计(3个辐射长度)和一个由钨酸铅原木组成的厚能量测量量热计(27个辐射长度)。该量热仪具有在强子、电子和伽马射线之间进行出色分离所需的深度、成像能力和能量分辨率。该仪器目前正在准备(预计于2015年)发射到国际空间站，以便安装在日本实验舱暴露设施(JEM-EF)上。
The CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) is a space experiment, currently under development by Japan in collaboration with Italy and the United States, which will measure the flux of cosmic-ray electrons (and positrons) up to 20 TeV energy, of gamma rays up to 10 TeV, of nuclei with Z from 1 to 40 up to 1 PeV energy, and will detect gamma-ray bursts in the 7 keV to 20 MeV energy range during a 5 year mission. These measurements are essential to investigate possible nearby astrophysical sources of high energy electrons, study the details of galactic particle propagation and search for dark matter signatures. The main detector of CALET, the Calorimeter, consists of a module to identify the particle charge, followed by a thin imaging calorimeter (3 radiation lengths) with tungsten plates interleaving scintillating fibre planes, and a thick energy measuring calorimeter (27 radiation lengths) composed of lead tungstate logs. The Calorimeter has the depth, imaging capabilities and energy resolution necessary for excellent separation between hadrons, electrons and gamma rays. The instrument is currently being prepared for launch (expected in 2015) to the International Space Station ISS, for installation on the Japanese Experiment Module - Exposure Facility (JEM-EF).
