CALET mission for Japanese Expereiment Module on ISS
Abstract
We are developing the CALorimetric Electron Telescope, CALET, mission for the Japanese Ex-periment Module -Exposed Facility, JEM-EF, of the International Space Station, ISS. Major scientific objective is a search for the nearby cosmic ray sources and for dark matter by carrying out a precise measurement of the electrons in 1 GeV-10 TeV and the gamma-rays in 10 GeV-several TeV. CALET has a unique capability to observe the electrons and the gamma-rays in the trans-TeV region since the hadron rejection power is larger than 105 andtheenergyresolutionbetterthanaf ew 10GeV athighlatitudes.Byaddingaspecif icdetector, thegamma-rayburstsin7keV -20M eV willbemonitore BT ransf erV ehicle, HT V, f ora5 - yearobservation.
