Editorial
The paradigm that our universe is dominated by non-luminous matter,i.e.,dark matter,rather than ordinary baryonic matter,has been established since the 1980s.However,the nature of dark matter remains almost unknown.Many ongoing space experiments are aiming at uncovering the particle nature of dark matter via precise measurements of the flux of cosmic-ray particles,with a hope to find fingerprints that tiny annihilations or decays of dark matter may have left.Such experiments include PAMELA,Fermi-LAT,and AMS-02,all of them have made extraordinary discoveries.The DAMPE experiment is a new player in the game.The key component of the DAMPE detector is a calorimeter with both a large acceptance and a long radiation length,which makes it unique for dark matter research.For instance,DAMPE is capable of detecting a cosmic-ray electron with a maximum energy of~10 TeV.
