Abstract

CALorimetric Electron Telescope, CALET, is an astroparticle physics experiment installed on the International Space Station. Its scientific objectives includes searching for possible nearby sources of high-energy electrons and dark matter signatures, as well as studying the details of galactic cosmic-ray acceleration and propagation in the Galaxy. CALET measures cosmic-ray electron and positron spectrum up to 20 TeV, gamma-rays up to 10 TeV, and nuclei up to 1000 TeV. Since its start of operation in October 2015, CALET has been accumulating scientific data without any major interruptions. In this paper, we present results from CALET’s first 8.5 years of operation.
