Abstract
We are involved in a program to study the antimatter components of the cosmic rays in outer space. We present the performances of a transiti on radiation detector we have built for positron identification during a balloon flight 4-50 Gev. We present also the design and expected pe rformances of a similar detector we intend to build for a future exper iment (PAMELA), to be run on a satellite by the end of 1999, in order to complete this program with higher statistics and at higher energies , namely about 200 GeV.
