Abstract
The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is a high-performance space particle detector launched in orbit in 2015 by a collaboration of Chinese, Italian and Swiss scientific institutions, coordinated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It consists of a high-resolution segmented BGO electromagnetic calorimeter with a depth of 32 radiation lengths, a silicon-tungsten tracker-converter with an angular resolution below [Formula: see text], an anti-coincidence shield and ion detector, and a neutron detector. The detector characteristics and performance, and the latest observations of cosmic electrons up to 5 TeV, protons and nuclei up to 100 TeV and gamma-rays up to 10 TeV are presented.
