Design of an Antimatter Large Acceptance Detector In Orbit (ALADInO)

“…Direct access to precision measurement of cosmic rays (CR) in space has opened a unique window to investigate the mechanisms of fundamental physics, particle physics, and the Universe in an approach that is complementary to that pursued in ground-based laboratories and particle accelerators, and provides distinctive information in the multimessenger searches towards the understanding of the Cosmos. Indeed, the operation of particle detectors in space since the late 2000s such as Fermi-LAT [1], PAMELA [2], AMS-01 [3], AMS-02 [4], DAMPE [5], CALET [6], NUCLEON [7], and ISS-CREAM [8] have paved the way for the modern era of precision particle physics in space. These space missions have been providing groundbreaking information on CRs with energies larger than hundreds of MeV that not only have consolidated previous observations, but have also revealed unexpected phenomena not accommodated in the current models that explain the origin, acceleration, and propagation of CRs [9].…”
