“…The detector response and calibration have previously been investigated [16,22]. The stability of the linearity for E x d d versus z 2 over time has been shown and a conversion factor of 3.3 keV/ADC has been reported.…”

In this work we present data on linear energy transfer (LET), dose and dose equivalent rates from different locations of the Russian part of the International Space Station (ISS) measured by the Sileye-3/Alteino detector. Data were taken as part of the ESA ALTCRISS project from late 2005 through 2007. The LET rate data shows a heavy-ion (LET >50 keV/μm) anisotropy. From the heavy-ion LET rate in the Zvezda service module we find ISS y( Starboard) and zˆ(Nadir) to be about 10-15 times higher than in x (Forward). The situation is similar for dose and dose equivalent rates, ranging from 25-40 μGy

“…The analogue output was channelled through a 16-bit ADC, making it possible to detect energies up to 164 MeV (431 keV μm −1 ). Pedestal subtraction and data compression were performed by the DSP [21], which was based on the ADSP-2181 16-bit micro controller. The data was transported via an ISA bus for storage on PCMCIA-cards.…”

In this work we present data from the Sileye-3/Alteino detector on board the International Space Station (ISS), which was gathered following a recalibration after several years in orbit. We also measure the relative nuclei abundance and integrated flux, which were normalized to the solar modulation values of August 2007. The measurements were made at different locations of the Russian part of the ISS. The relative nuclear abundances of C to Fe in relation to C, in an energy range above 60 MeV/n, shows high levels of odd Z particles inside the ISS and an under-abundance of C and O compared with the galactic spectrum, as presented by Simpson in 1983. In addition, the values of the integrated flux varies primarily according to location and detector orientation. An additional polyethylene shield also reduces the flux, although in a lower amount than changes in the orientation of the telescope. Data were taken as part of the ESA ALTCRISS project from late 2005 through to 2007.

“…Aims of this research involve the precise determination of the antiproton [1] and positron [2] spectra, search of antimatter, measurement of low energy trapped and solar cosmic rays with the NINA-1 [3] and NINA-2 [4] satellite experiments. Other research on board Mir and International Space Station has involved the measurement of the radiation environment, the nuclear abundances and the investigation of the Light Flash [5] phenomenon with the Sileye experiments [6,7]. PAMELA is the largest and most complex device built insofar by the collaboration, with the broadest scientific goals.…”
