Galactic cosmic ray studies with DAMPE

The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE), operative since its launch in December 2015, is a space-based experiment with primary objectives including the indirect detection of dark matter signatures, the measurement of galactic cosmic ray fluxes spanning tens of GeV to hundreds of TeV, and high-energy gamma-ray astronomy. An overview of the DAMPE results on galactic cosmic rays will be provided, focusing on precision measurements that revealed distinctive spectral features in proton and helium fluxes. The discussion will also outline the measured secondary-to-primary flux ratios, such as boron-to-carbon (B/C), as well as ongoing studies of light, medium, and heavy nuclei spectra.
