Direct measurement of cosmic neon, magnesium, and silicon fluxes with DAMPE
The Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is a satellite-based detector optimized for precise Galactic cosmic ray studies up to hundreds of TeV. Since its launch on December 17th, 2015, DAMPE has been continuously collecting data on high-energy cosmic particles with excellent statistics and particle identification capabilities, thanks to a large geometric factor and a very good energy resolution. In this contribution, the latest advancements concerning the direct measurement of the energy spectra of cosmic-ray neon, magnesium, and silicon nuclei obtained by DAMPE will be presented. Precise knowledge of these spectral measurements could provide valuable insights into the origin, acceleration, and propagation processes of cosmic rays in the Galaxy.
