Speaker
Description
The Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is an ongoing space-borne experiment designed for the direct detection of Cosmic Rays (CR). The instrument consists of four sub-detectors, namely: a Plastic Scintillator Detector (PSD), a Silicon TracKer-converter (STK), a deep BGO calorimeter (~32 X0 , ~1.6 λI) and a Neutron Detector (NUD). Following more than 8 years of successful operation, DAMPE has amassed a large dataset of CRs in the GeV to PeV energy range.
In this contribution, we present the latest results from the DAMPE experiment. An overview of the most recent advancements in CR flux measurements will be discussed, providing crucial insights into the acceleration and propagation mechanisms of CRs in our Galaxy. Additionally, particular focus will go to the particle physics studies enabled by DAMPE's unique dataset, including dark matter searches, hadronic cross section measurements, and constraints on fractionally charged particles.
