Abstract

The current status of the PAMELA electromagnetic calorimeter on board the satellite Resurs– DK1 will be presented. The PAMELA apparatus was placed 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 self–trigger capability that allows PAMELA to measure very high–energy electrons. The calorimeter behaviour has been stable since the launch and no main differences can be noted respect to ground test prior the launch. In flight particle discrimination capabilities will be shown.
