Dear Colleague,

This is to remind you of this week's Thursday colloquium at PSI.

speaker:      P. Picozza (Tor Vergata Rome)
title:        Search for Antimatter and Dark Matter with the PAMELA
              Space Experiment
date:         Thursday, April 23, 2009
time:         4 p.m.
place:        WHGA Auditorium

Abstract:
The PAMELA satellite-borne experiment was launched from the Bajkonur
launch site in Kazakhstan on the 15th of June 2006. Measurements of
antiprotons and positrons energy spectra are being performed since July
2006 to search for exotic sources, such as dark matter particle
annihilation. PAMELA is also looking for primordial antinuclei (antiHe).
Other measurements concern light nuclei energy spectra, the monitoring of
the solar activity and the study of the radiation belts. Results on
antiprotons to protons and positrons to all electrons ratios will be
presented together with preliminary data on the antiprotons and electrons
fluxes and secondary to primary nuclei ratios.

With best regards,

Alexander Mueck and Michael Spira
