The PADME experiment, by using the positron beam of the Frascati laboratory, aims at searching for signals of a dark photon, A′ . It will evaluate the final state missing mass of the process e+ e- → A′ γ by knowing the beam energy and measuring the four-momentum of the ordinary recoil photon. The precise determination of this quantity, and the capability to reject background events, are the key points for the success of the experiment. In this paper a description of each component of the PADME detector is given.
