Presentation

Mitigation of the risks due to radiation exposure is a most important issue for the future space voyages needed for human space exploration. Studies aimed at the detailed understanding of the radiation effects on humans are showing a panorama of risks strongly dependent on several specific characteristic of the radiation. As an example high Linear Energy Transfer (LET) charged radiation have...

4. Geomagnetically trapped and albedo protons measured by PAMELA

Presentation

We present a new measurement of the high energy (> 70 MeV) geomagnetically trapped and albedo proton fluxes, performed by the PAMELA satellite experiment at low Earth orbits. Trajectories of all selected particles were reconstructed in the geomagnetic field with back-tracing techniques based on a realistic description of the magnetosphere, and analyzed in the framework of the adiabatic theory....

0. Cosmic Rays backtracing in the Earth Magnetic field: the importance for AMS-02 of External Models during the last solar period data taking (from 2011 to 2013)

Presentation

We developed a code for Cosmic Rays trajectory reconstruction in the Earth Magnetosphere, this has been developed with last models of Internal (IGRF-11) and External (Tsyganenko 1996 and 2005) field components. The backtracing technique was used to separate Primary Cosmic Rays Particles, in case of allowed trajectory, from Secondary particles, in case of forbidden trajectory. The accuracy of...
