Scientific paper

A Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) has been developed and tested for the PAMELA instrument. PAMELA is a satellite borne magnetic spectrometer aimed to the detection of antiparticles (positrons and antiprotons), protons and nuclear components of cosmic rays and to the search of cosmic antinuclei. The TRD detector will be used together with an electromagnetic calorimeter for particle identification. The TRD is composed of 9 active layers made of proportional straw tubes, interleaved with carbon fibers radiators. We describe here its performances as determined at particle beam tests, with different particles and at different energies performed at the CERN-PS and CERN-SPS.
