The Anticoincidence Shield of the PAMELA Satellite Experimenthot!
The Anticoincidence Shield
of the PAMELA Satellite
Experiment
Silvio Orsi
Royal Institute of Technology,
Stockholm
35th COSPAR Assembly
S. Orsi – Paris, 20 July 2004
Paris, 18-25 July 2004
PAMELA
• Final stage of
integration in Rome
• Earth monitoring
satellite (Resurs DK-1)
• PAMELA hosted in
pressurised container
