Description
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a precision particle physics detector on the International Space Station. Over 12 years, AMS has collected more than 230 billion cosmic rays, from elementary particles to iron nuclei, at energies up to multi-TeV. The precision spectrometer measures elementary particles and nuclei to ~1% accuracy, yielding many surprising results. The latest AMS results will be presented with a particular emphasis on elementary particles and antiparticles (protons, electrons, positrons, and antiprotons). These data reveal unexpected properties in cosmic rays and indicate new sources of high-energy antiparticles. The AMS results continue to provide unique insights into understanding the origin of dark matter and antimatter, and exploring new physics phenomena in the cosmos.
