History: astroparticle physics emerged from particle physics and connects it to astrophysics. Early particle physics was based on cosmic ray studies. The 1930s and 1940s were dominated by the discovery of new particles (positron, muon, pion) and the problems of their identification. In the 1950s, the era of the big accelerators began. Recent astroparticle physics started in the 1980s, with solar neutrino measurements and the investigation of cosmic rays by means of particle detectors.

New results on the antiproton-to-proton and positron-to-all electron ratios over a wide energy range (1 – 100 GeV) have been obtained by the PAMELA mission. These data are mainly interpreted in terms of dark matter annihilation or pulsar contribution. The instrument PAMELA, in orbit since June 15th, 2006 on board the Russian satellite Resurs DK1, is daily delivering to ground 16 Gigabytes of data. The apparatus is designed to study charged particles in the cosmic radiation, with a particular focus on antiparticles for searching antimatter and signals of dark matter annihilation. A combination of a magnetic spectrometer and different detectors allows antiparticles to be reliably identified from a large background of other charged particles. The talk will illustrate the most important scientific results obtained by PAMELA, together with some of the more recent theoretical interpretations.
