We are proposing the CALET mission carried out on the Japanese Experiment
Module of International Space Station. Major purpose of the mission is to
search for the nearby cosmic ray sources and dark matter. The detector
consists of an imaging calorimeter and a total absorption calorimeter to detect
the electrons and the gamma-rays up to 10 TeV with very efficient rejection
power of th

The Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass (CREAM) experiment has now flown over Antarctica
for a total of 70 days, combining a record-breaking continuous 42 days in the air
with a second Long Duration Balloon flight. The array of detection techniques
utilized by CREAM includes a Timing Charge Detector, a Transition Radiation Detector,
a Silicon Charge Detector, and a tracking Calorimeter to obtain th

The PAMELA (Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light nuclei Astrophysics)
experiment is a satellite-borne apparatus mounted on the Resurs DK1 russian
satellite, launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome on June 15th 2006. It is designed
to study charged particles in the cosmic radiation with a particular focus on
antiparticles and light nuclei.
The PAMELA apparatus comprises a time-o

The observation of a possible excess in the cosmic-ray positron
spectrum has been suggested to originate from WIMP annihilations in
the halo of the Galaxy. To measure this spectrum in the interesting
energy range of 1-100 GeV with high precision, we
are developing a dedicated balloon-borne spectrometer (PEBS).
The best measurement of the cosmic-ray positron flux available today
was perform

CREST is a balloon-borne detector array of barium fluoride
crystal scintillators which will measure the intensity and spectrum of
multi-TeV electrons in the Cosmic Rays. By detecting the synchrotron
photons emitted from electrons passing through the earth's magnetic field,
CREST's acceptance is several times its geometric area. We present
background measurement results from a small arra

Cosmic ray electrons with energies greater that about 300 GeV are of particular
interest because, due to their high energy losses during interstellar propagation,
there are likely to be only a small number of nearby sources contributing to the
electron energy spectrum above several hundred GeV. It has been suggested that this
may result in observable structure. Further, if the annihilation o

The present status of the PAMELA electromagnetic calorimeter on board the
satellite Resurs-DK1 will be presented. The PAMELA apparatus was put in orbit
on 15 June 2006. The main task of the calorimeter is to select cosmic-ray
antiprotons and positrons in a vast background of electrons and protons
respectively with an high rejection power. Furthermore, the calorimeter is
equipped with a s
