Measuring Direct and Return Albedo Proton Fluxes in the PAMELA Experiment

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Criteria are selected for identifying direct and return albedo protons in the Geant 4 environment by modeling the flight of particles through the PAMELA device. The criteria are applied to PAMELA experimental data. Differential energy spectra of the direct and return albedo protons are reconstructed for low and high geomagnetic latitudes by processing and analyzing the data.
