摘要：

1. Introduction We propose CALET as an instrument to observe very high energy electrons and γ-rays on the Japanese Experiment Module Exposure Facility, JEM-EF, on ISS. The objective of the CALET Mission is to explore a new frontier at higher energies for the origin of cosmic-rays (CR), the propagation of CR and to search for dark matter signatures. We will measure electrons from 1 GeV to -10 TeV and y-rays from 20 MeV to several TeV, free from the hadron backgrounds, with an excellent energy resolution beyond 100 GeV. We are considering using CALET to measure protons and heavy nuclei in the 1 to -1000 TeV range [1].
