Abstract:
The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE), or known as the WuKong satellite, has been in operation in a 500 km orbit for almost 6 years since its launch on Dec.17, 2015. The primary goals were to search for indirect evidence for dark matter, as well as to directly measure high energy cosmic rays and gammas in space. In this talk, I will review the DAMPE mission, its current running status and the physics results over the years, including the measurements of electron spectrum up to 5 TeV, proton spectrum up to 100 TeV, helium spectrum up to 80 TeV/n, and so on. Some interesting features will be discussed.
Biography:
Guangshun Huang is a professor of physics at the University of Science and Technology of China. He received his B.S. from Tsinghua University in 1991 and Ph.D from Institute of High Energy Physics in 1999. In recent years his major efforts have been on R-QCD physics at the BESIII experiment, space cosmic-ray measurement for the DAMPE satellite mission.
