Scientific paper

PAMELA is a satellite-borne experiment with the main purpose to measure the antiparticle component of cosmic rays over an extended energy range (80 MeV - 190 GeV for bar {p} and 50 MeV - 270 GeV for e+) and with unprecedented accuracy. Other physics objectives are the measurement of the galactic, heliospheric and trapped components of cosmic rays (80 MeV - 700 GeV for p, 50 MeV - 400 GeV for e-). The apparatus consists of a permanent magnetic spectrometer equipped with a double-sided silicon microstrip tracking system and surrounded by a scintillator anticoincidence system. A silicon-tungsten imaging calorimeter, complemented by a scintillator shower tail catcher performs the particle identification task. Fast scintillators are used for Time-of-Flight measurements and to provide the primary trigger. A neutron detector improves the particle identification, extends the range of particle measurements to the TeV region and allows to study solar and trapped neutron component. In this work we will focus on the description of the observational characteristics of the detector in the field of solar, heliospheric and trapped cosmic rays.
