Focused Session: Charged particles
- Moritz Hütten (Max Planck Institute for Physics)
The CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET), which is currently conducting direct cosmic-ray observations onboard the International Space Station (ISS), uses an all-calorimetric instrument with total vertical thickness of 30 radiation lengths and fine imaging capability. The instrument is optimized for cosmic-ray electron measurements by achieving large proton rejection and excellent energy...
In this talk, I'll review recent theoretical studies and observational results about propagation processes of cosmic rays in our galaxy.
The origin and propagation of cosmic rays is one of the most important questions in astroparticle physics nowadays. To perform Indirect searches of Dark Matter searching for their products in the local cosmic ray spectra, we first need to comprehend what is the background coming from astrophysical sources. We can only model this background by achieving a deep understanding of cosmic ray...
