SUMMARY:The PAMELA space mission for antimatter and dark matter searches in
  cosmic rays
DESCRIPTION:The PAMELA space mission for antimatter and dark matter searche
 s in cosmic rays\nProf. Piergiorgio Picozza\n\nNew results on the antiprot
 on-to-proton and positron-to-all electron ratios over a wide energy range 
 (1 – 100 GeV)  have been  obtained by the PAMELA mission. These data
  are mainly interpreted in terms of dark matter annihilation or pulsar con
 tribution. The instrument PAMELA,  in orbit since June 15th, 2006 on board
  the Russian satellite Resurs DK1, is daily delivering to ground 16 Gigaby
 tes of data. The apparatus is designed to study charged particles in the c
 osmic radiation, with a particular focus on antiparticles for searching an
 timatter and signals of dark matter annihilation. A combination of a magne
 tic spectrometer and different detectors allows antiparticles to be reliab
 ly identified from a large background of other charged particles.  The tal
 k  will illustrate the most important scientific results obtained by PAMEL
 A,  together with some of the  more recent   theoretical interpretations.
