WiZard PAMELA Commissione INFN II Piergiorgio Picozza Villa Mondragone, 30 Settembre 2008

2 Stato del Satellite Approvato il prolungamento fino al 31 Dicembre 2009 Iniziate le procedure per un prolungamento per un ulteriore triennio

3 Pamela as a Space Observatory at 1AU
Search for dark matter annihilation Search for antihelium (primordial antimatter)‏ Search for new Matter in the Universe (Strangelets?) Study of cosmic-ray propagation Study of solar physics and solar modulation Study of terrestrial magnetosphere Study of high energy electron spectrum (local sources?)

37 Charge sign dependence of cosmic ray modulation.
Two systematic deviations from reflection symmetry of the interplanetary magnetic field: 1) The Parker field has opposite magnetic polarity above and below the equator, but the spiral field lines themselves are mirror images of each other. This antisymmetry produces drift velocity fields that for positive particles converge on the heliospheric equator in the A+ state or diverge from it in A- state. Negatively charged particles behave in the opposite manner and the drift patterns interchange when the solar polarity diverge. 2) Systematic ordering of turbulent helicity can cause diffusion coefficients to depend directly on charge sign and polarity state. Bieber, J.W., et al. Phys. Rev. Letters, 84, 674, 1999.
