Abstract :
The PAMELA experiment is a space-borne apparatus devoted to the study of antiparticle component of cosmic rays. The Time-of-Flight (ToF) scintillator system allows both to distinguish electrons from antiprotons up to about 2 GeV and the measurement of the absolute charge of the particle. A read-out electronics with wide dynamic range and a time resolution better than 100 ps is requested. A fast trigger is also implemented.
