The great challenge in constraining scenarios for solar energetic particle (SEP) acceleration is due to the fact that the signatures of acceleration itself are heavily modified by transport within interplanetary space. During transport, SEPs are subject to pitch angle scattering by the turbulent magnetic field, adiabatic focusing, or reflections magnetic structures. Ground Level Enhancements...

From 2009, several experiments, like PAMELA, FERMI and AMS, have shown a rise in the fraction of positrons versus electrons+positrons. One of the most probable explanation is due to the presence of nearby sources, like SNRs or pulsars. PAMELA (Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light-nuclei Astrophysics) is a ballooon-borne experiment and is collecting data since 15 June 2006. Its...

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a state-of-the-art particle
detector designed to operate as an external module on the International
Space Station (ISS). In this unique space environment cosmic particles
can be measured with high precision over an energy range from GeV up to
a few TeV. In 2014, the AMS collaboration provided precise measurements of the electron and positron...

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a state-of-the-art particle
detector designed to operate as an external module on the International
Space Station (ISS). In the absence of atmospheric disturbance, cosmic
ray fluxes between 0.5 GeV and a few TeV can be measured with high
precision.
In 2014, the AMS collaboration provided precise measurements of the electron
and positron...

The large-scale anisotropy (or the so-called star-diurnal wave) has been studied in the frame of research carrying out in space with the PAMELA instrument. It was studied during the time period covering 2006-2014 for the Southern and Northern hemispheres simultaneously. The cosmic ray intensity distribution was constructed in the equatorial coordinate system and anisotropy was obtained. For...

The arrival directions of multi-TeV cosmic rays show significant anisotropies at small angular scales. It has been argued that this small scale structure is the reflection of the local, turbulent magnetic field in the presence of a global dipole anisotropy in cosmic rays as determined by diffusion. This effect is analogous to weak gravitational lensing of temperature fluctuations of the cosmic...
