Scientific goals
• Search for dark matter annihilation
• Search for antihelium (primordial antimatter)
• Study of cosmic-ray propagation (light nuclei and isotopes)
• Study of electron spectrum (local sources?)
• Study solar physics and solar modulation• Study terrestrial magnetosphere

• Mechanism: the spinning B of the pulsar strips e- that accelerated at the polar cap or at the outer gap emit γ that make production of e± that are trapped in the cloud, further accelerated and later released at τ ~ 105 years.
• Young (T < 105 years) and nearby (< 1kpc) • If not: too much diffusion, low energy, too low flux.
• Geminga: 157 parsecs from Earth and 370,000 years old• B0656+14: 290 parsecs from Earth and 110,000 years old.

SummaryPAMELA has been in orbit and studying cosmic rays for ~42 months.
>109 triggers registered and >18 TB of data has been down-linked.
Antiproton-to-proton flux ratio and antiproton energy spectrum (~100 MeV - ~200 GeV) show no significant deviations from secondary production expectations.
High energy positron fraction (>10 GeV) increases significantly (and unexpectedly!) with energy. Primary source?Data at higher energies might help to resolve origin of rise (spillover limit ~300 GeV).
e- spectrum up to ~200 GeV shows spectral features that may point to additional components. Analysis is ongoing to increase the statistics and expand the measurement of the e- spectrum up to ~500 GeV and e+
spectrum up to ~300 GeV (all electrum (e- + e+) spectrum up to ~1 TV).
Furthemore:• PAMELA is going to provide measurements on elemental spectra and low mass isotopes with an unprecedented statistical precision and is helping to improve the understanding of particle propagation in the interstellar medium• PAMELA is able to measure the high energy tail of solar particles. • PAMELA is going to set a new lower limit for finding Antihelium
