Measurement of the deflection of cosmic-ray electrons in the energy range 75-250 GeV by the Earths magnetic field with the PAMELA experiment. Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics Volume 117, Issue 1, July 2013, Pages 62-71

The deflection of electrons in the Earths magnetic field in the energy range 75-250 GeV (the so-called east-west effect) has been measured with the PAMELA satellite-borne experiment. The results are presented for various L-shells. The data obtained can be used to construct mathematical models that describe the structure of the Earths magnetic field and to refine the already existing models. These data can also be directly applied to estimate the positron fraction in cosmic-ray electron fluxes both in the PAMELA experiment and in other satellite-borne experiments.
