Abstract
The PAMELA (Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light nuclei Astrophysics) experiment is a satellite-borne apparatus installed on the Resurs DK1 Russian satellite, and launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome on June 15th 2006. It aims to study charged particles in the cosmic radiation focusing on antiparticles and light nuclei. The PAMELA apparatus is made of different sub-detectors: a time-of-flight system, a magnetic spectrometer, a silicon-tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter, an anticoincidence system, a shower tail catcher scintillator and a neutron detector. In this paper the capability of the sub-detectors to identify light nuclei, on the flight data, will be presented.
