概要 | A precise measurement of the cosmic-ray proton spectrum with CALET is presented in the energy interval from 50 GeV to 60 TeV, and the observation of a softening of the spectrum above 10 TeV is reported. Above a few hundred GeV we confirm our previous observation of a progressive spectral hardening with a higher significance. In the multi-TeV region we observe a second spectral feature with a softening around 10 TeV and a spectral index change from −2.6 to −2.9 consistently, within the errors, with the shape of the spectrum reported by DAMPE. We apply a simultaneous fit of the proton differential spectrum which well reproduces the gradual change of the spectral index encompassing the lower energy power-law regime and the two spectral features observed at higher energies. |
