The Unstable nuclei are important to constrain diffusion models
4 Identifying Cosmic-Ray Isotopes Classical method to identify isotopes rely on their mass estimation : To identify isotopes on an event by event bassis, mass measurement precision (σ) should be at most 3σ < ΔM, with ΔM the difference in isotop masses Table of required resolution to perform isotopic identification Isotopes D/H 3 He/ 4 He 1 Be/ 9 Be 6 Al/ 7 Al ΔM/M % 8 % 3 % 1 % From combined measurement of velocity & rigidity: Independent measurement of the particle momentum (or rigidity) and velocity allow to estimate the mass of the incoming particle and subsequently to identify isotopes. Mc = ZR γβ σm M = σp p γ σβ β For a reliable mass estimation, both, particle momentum and velocity, must be measured with a great precision.

6 Identifying Cosmic-Ray Isotopes From their energy losses in matter : de dx K A Z z p c + M c 4 p c CR Energy losses in the PAMELA tracker plan - With the courtesy of the PAMELA collaboration When Mc is comparable to pc, the energy losses measurement permit to estimate the particle masses and separate isotopes. When Mc << pc, the energy losses turn out to be independent of the masses. Energy losses largely spread arround the average energy losses Possible missidentification

15 Conclusion We presented a method using the Geomagnetic field shielding property to filter isotopes from cosmic radiation. The method was presented under the dipolar and Stoermer approximations. Method based on a realistic Geomagnetic filed, accounting for the penumbra is under study. Method is well adapted to space born experiment which explore region of different geomagnetic cutoff 5% to 1% of the 1 Be could be identified up to an energy of 1 GeV/n.
