March 3, 2010 HEAD We are waiting for much more study by ATIC, PAMELA, Fermi-LAT, HESS and a forthcoming experiment in space, AMS-02. Moreover, We need an accurate and very-high-statistics observation for searching Dark Matter and/or Nearby Pulsars in the sub-TeV to the trans-TeV region with a detector which has following performance: The systematic errors including GF is less than a few %. The absolute energy resolution is as small as a few % ( ~ATIC). The exposure factor is as large as more than 100 m 2 srday ( ~ FERMI-LAT). The proton rejection power is comparable to 10 5, and does not depend largely on energies. It should be a dedicated detector for electron observation in space. Calorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) is proposed. Efforts by the new experiments for deriving the positron and electron spectra are really appreciated to open a door to new era in astroparticle physics.

March 3, 2010 HEAD The electron measurement over 1 TeV can bring us very important information of the origin and propagation of cosmic- rays and also of the dark matter ( yet not discussed here). We have successfully been developing the CALET instrument for Japanese Experiment Module (Kibo) – Exposed Facility to extend the electron observation to the tans-TeV region. The CALET has capabilities to observe the electrons up to 10 TeV, gamma-rays in 10GeV- 10TeV, proton and heavy ions in several 10 GeV TeV, for investigation of high energy phenomena in the Universe. The CALET mission has been approved by the System Definition Review (SDR), and will proceed to the Phase B soon for launching in Summary and Future Prospect

The excess might be contributed from exotic sources: Nearby Pulsars or WIMPs. J. Chang et al. Nature (2008) Nature MLP+BDTD (+data, no pre-sampler, improved knowledge of detectors) GALPROP PAMELA e + /(e + +e - ) Ratio (RICAP, 2009) statistics improved by ~2.5 ÷ 3 The positron ratio observed by PAMELA presents unexpected increase over 10 GeV. This increase can be understood if the positrons are created by Nearby Pulsars or WIMPs in addition to secondary process. Both anomalies from same reason ? To identify the reason, Anisotropy in (e + +e - ) and e + /(e + +e - ) over 100 GeV are indispensable. Both anomalies from same reason ? To identify the reason, Anisotropy in (e + +e - ) and e + /(e + +e - ) over 100 GeV are indispensable.

March 2, 2010 HEAD Then, excellent observations of (e + +e - ) in statistics are carried out by FERMI-LAT and HESS, and a new era of electron observation is opened probably by indicating a flattening of energy spectrum and a sharp cut-off over 1 TeV, respectively. I really appreciate their efforts to derive the electron spectrum in unexploded region. F.Aharanian et al. arXiv:0905:0105

March 2, 2010 HEAD Why we need CALET ? Residual hadron contamination FERMI Electron Analysis Geometric Factor depends strongly on energy Proton rejection power depends fully on simulation by using different parameters Energy resolution becomes worse at high energies (~30 1 TeV) Expected CALET Performance Geometric Factor is constant up to 10 TeV Energy resolution is nearly 2 %, and constant over 100 GeV M protons Proton rejection power at 4 TeV is better than 10 5 with 95 % electron retained Blue Mark CALET is a dedicated detector for electrons and has a superior performance in the trans-TeV region as well as at the lower energies

March 2, 2010 HEAD Validation of the flight data Task: Task: compare the efficiency of all “cuts” for flight data and MC eventsApproach: - Plot from the flight data the histogram of each variable involved in the electron selections, one at a time, after applying all other cuts - check if the flight histograms match the simulated ones, and account for the differences in systematic errors for the reconstructed spectrum Example for the variable (shower transverse size) Analysis variables demonstrate good agreement between the flight data and MC

March 2, 2010 HEAD F.Aharanian et al. arXiv:0905:0105 PRL,201, (2008) The H.E.S.S. analysis depends on simulation, and the residual protons are as dominant as similar with an amount of the electrons, or more at lower energies.
