Description
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a multi-purpose magnetic spectrometer measuring cosmic rays up to TeV energies on the International Space Station (ISS) since 2011. Its precision, large acceptance and ability to identify particle types over a wide energy range during its long duration mission in Space make it unique in astro-particle physics. To date AMS has collected over 100 billion charged cosmic ray events.
The latest AMS results will be presented.
