Description

Abstract: This colloquium will address the most relevant open questions related to the galactic cosmic rays physics. In particular, the latest results obtained mainly from the space based experiments will be presented, with particular emphasis on the primary and secondary component, on the electron and positron spectra, and on the antimatter component. The most puzzling and interesting questions arising from these results will be emphasised and discussed, together with a short description of the future experiments, that will be able to shed some light on this still mysterious and intriguing physics field.
