Objectives
1 Use the DAMPE data to search for and study dark matter particles by conducting high-resolution observation of high-energy electrons and the gamma-ray sky. 2 To study the origin of cosmic rays by observing high-energy electrons and heavy nuclei above 1 TeV. 3 To study the propagation and acceleration mechanism of cosmic rays by observing high-energy gamma rays. 4 To improve and design the next generation gamma-ray space detector for the Chinese Space Station, and illustrate the on-orbit particle identification capability of the payloads
