Example of electron track reconstruction (simulation event) Incident direction & Reconstructed shower axis Geometrical condition We selected the events which pass through the top of the detector and the bottom of the third BGO layer so as to retain good energy resolution.

9. 2012.07.19COSPAR2012 @ Mysore, India9 Comparison of Electron Energy Spectrum in 1-100GeV primary secondary The primary electron spectrum observed by bCALET is compatible with the results of earlier experiments. The rigidity cutoff effect can be compared with that of AMS-01 spectrum at the similar latitude though there is a slight difference due to the altitude. In the case of the secondary electron spectrum, we should note that bCALET directly observed secondary electrons generated in atmosphere but AMS-01 and PAMELA observed down-going albedo particles. bCALET-1 (Sanriku, altitude 37km) Latitude : 39.1°(Θ M =0.525) Rigidity cutoff : ~13.3GV bCALET-2 (Taiki, altitude 35km) Latitude : 42.4°(Θ M =0.583) Rigidity cutoff : ~11.8GV AMS-01 (space, altitude 320-390km) Rigidity cutoff : ~10.0GV (when Θ M =0.583) HEAT (Lynn Lake, altitude 5.7g/cm 2 ) Latitude : 56.5°(Θ M =0.790) Rigidity cutoff : ~5.8GV

10. Summary A series of balloon experiments with the CALET prototype detector (bCALET) was carried out for verification of the capability and evaluation of the performance. The observed spectra of the electrons and the atmospheric gamma- rays were compatible with the former experiments and simulations. These prototypes brought enough feedback for development of CALET. Now we aim to the CALET mission ! 2012.07.19COSPAR2012 @ Mysore, India10 We have successfully been developing the CALET instrument for long-term observation of electrons 1GeV-20TeV, gamma-rays 10GeV-10TeV, and nuclei 10GeV-1000TeV at ISS. The launch will be held in 2014 by H-IIB rocket.
