SummarySummary
•Momentum resolution of PAMELA spectrometer ca. 3.5 %•ToF analysis underway, shows expected mass resolution•Analysis using multiple dEdx with calorimeter in progress•Helium results show improved mass resolution compared to ToF•GEANT4 simulation is used for comparison with data•First results show that PAMELA will be able to provide new data for Lithium and Beryllium isotopes up to ~ 1 – 1.5 GeV/n
Work in Progress ….
