“…But new impulse has been given since 1995 with use, for the first time, of silicon detectors in SilEye-1 and SilEye-2 experiments on board the MSS (Mir Space Station) (e.g., Galper et al 1996;Casolino et al 2001;Avdeev 2001). The first prototype, SilEye-1, in 25 h of work with different astronauts, in 2 years, has tracked more than 50 LFs, correlating them with radiation background (Galper et al 1996). The detector SilEye-2, since October 1997 up to August 1999, has collected more than seven million particles and hundreds of LFs (Galper et al 2001) that partially clarify the problem but still do not answer many questions.…”

[1] For the first time, accurate measurements of electron and positron fluxes in the energy range 0.2 -10 GeV have been performed with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) at altitudes of 370 -390 km in the geographic latitude interval ±51.7°. We describe the observed under-cutoff lepton fluxes outside the region of the South Atlantic Anomaly. The separation in quasi-trapped, long-lifetime (O(10 s)), and albedo, short-lifetime (O(100 ms)), components is explained in terms of the drift shell populations observed by AMS. A significantly higher relative abundance of positrons with respect to electrons is seen in the quasi-trapped population. The flux maps as a function of the canonical adiabatic variables L, a 0 are presented for the interval 0.95 < L < 3, 0°< a 0 < 90°f or electrons (E < 10 GeV) and positrons (E < 3 GeV). The results are compared to existing data at lower energies. The properties of the observed under-cutoff particles are also investigated in terms of their residence times and geographical origin.
