PAMELA卫星实验致力于研究宇宙辐射中的带电粒子，特别侧重于寻找反物质和暗物质信号的反粒子，能量范围从100 MeV到数百GeV。PAMELA安装在2006年6月15日从拜科努尔航天发射场发射的Resurs DK 1卫星上。PAMELA装置包括磁谱仪、飞行时间系统、硅钨电磁量能器、反符合系统、簇射捕尾闪烁器和中子探测器。这些装置的组合使得反粒子能够从其他带电粒子的大背景中可靠地识别出来。
The PAMELA satellite experiment is dedicated to the study of charged particles in cosmic radiation, with a particular focus on antiparticles for the search of antimatter and signals of dark matter, in the energy window from 100MeV to some hundreds of GeV. PAMELA is installed on board of the Resurs DK1 satellite that was launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome on June 15th, 2006. The PAMELA apparatus comprises a magnetic spectrometer, a time-of-flight system, a silicon–tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter, an anticoincidence system, a shower tail catcher scintillator and a neutron detector. The combination of these devices allows antiparticles to be reliably identified from a large background of other charged particles.
