Analysis of CALET Gamma-ray Data Above 100 GeV

ORAL

Abstract

The Calorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) has collected data on board the ISS for 8 years. It is a joint JAXA-NASA-ASI mission mounted on the Japanese Experiment Module - Exposed Facility (JEM-EF) of the ISS. Its primary mission is to discover nearby cosmic ray accelerators and search for dark matter by precisely measuring all-electron (electron and positron) and gamma-ray spectra from 1 GeV to 20 TeV. Its calorimeter has a depth of 30 radiation lengths, allowing for good energy resolution for electrons and photons into the VHE range. Previous work has analyzed the energy range of 1 to 100 GeV. This work explores sources detected by CALET above 100 GeV
