Description

Dark Matte Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is a space-borne experiment for direct comsic ray and gamma ray detection. Its scientific goals include measurement of cosmic ray electron, proton and nuclei spectra, and gamma ray physics . An outstanding feature of the detector is the biggest calorimeter ever launched into space which allows performing measurements of cosmic ray spectra in the TeV-PeV energy range. In this talk, we give a brief overview of the experiment and its scientific results. A particular focus is done on the Monte-Carlo simulations.
