ADAMO is a composite particle detector that is being developed by a group of INFN and University of Firenze, Italy. The purpose of this detector is the study of the main charged components of cosmic rays at ground level, i.e. muons, electrons and protons, with momenta between about 100 MeV/c and 100 GeV/c. The measurement of these components allows a fine tuning of the propagation models of cosmic rays in the Earth's atmosphere. The core of the detector is a magnetic spectrometer composed of a permanent magnet and a tracking system based on silicon microstrip detectors. A Time-Of-Flight (TOF) detector system will be ready in a few months to be used as trigger and for the discrimination of the proton component up to 1 GeV/c momentum. A threshold aerogel Cherenkov detector and an electromagnetic calorimeter are also foreseen to improve the discrimination capabilities for both proton and electron components.
