Abstract: ita-bencardino-R-abs1-sh36-poster LAZIO-SiRad, the Low Altitude Zone Ionization Observatory experiment, launched on February 28th 2005, started its operations on board the International Space Station in April 2005.Lazio is a high performance cosmic ray detector able to measure and identify all particles traversing the apparatus separating nuclei from electrons/positrons in the energy range (10-100) MeV.It will record their time of arrival and their pitch angle under a 60 cm 2 sr view.In order to reach a significant technological goal, the apparatus include a new type of scintillator-based detector, such added for the first time to the set of space devices.This paper will report and discuss the performances of the detector as resulting from a beam test with a low energy electron beam performed at the Frascati Beam Test Facility (BTF).
