Cosmic Ray Astrophysics with AMS-02
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a cosmic ray (CR) experiment that will operate on the International Space Station for three years, measuring the particle spectra in the rigidity range from 0.2 GV to 2 TV. The AMS-02 detector will provide measurements with unprecedented statistics of the hadronic and leptonic cosmic rays, allowing for a better study of the Earth magnetosphere through th...
متن کاملCosmic Ray Anisotropy Analysis with a Full-Sky Observatory
A cosmic ray observatory with full-sky coverage can exploit standard anisotropy analysis methods that do not work if part of the celestial sphere is never seen. In particular, the distribution of arrival directions can be fully characterized by a list of spherical harmonic coefficients. The dipole vector and quadrupole tensor are of special interest, but the full set of harmonic coefficients co...
متن کاملAms : a Particle Observatory in Space
The AMS spectrometer will be implemented on the International Space Station at the end of 2003 (or beginning of 2004). The instrument will be made of a superconducting magnet which inner volume will be mapped with a tracker consisting of 8 planes of silicon microstrips surrounded by several sub-detectors: a time-of-flight (TOF), a ring imaging Cherenkov (RICH), an electromagnetic calorimeter (E...
متن کاملSearch for Antimatter with the AMS Cosmic Ray Detector
Antimatter search results of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) detector are presented. About 10 triggers were collected in the 1998 precursor flight onboard space shuttle Discovery. This ten day mission exposed the detector on a 51.7◦ orbit at an altitude around 350km. Identification of charged cosmic rays is achieved by multiple energy loss and time-of-flight measurements. Bending inside t...
متن کاملTime Delays in Cosmic Ray Propagation
Cosmic Rays (CR) travel at speeds essentially indistinguishable from the speed of light. However whilst travelling through magnetic fields, both regular and turbulent, they are delayed behind the light since they are usually charged particles and their paths are not linear. Those delays can be so long that they are an impediment to correctly identifying sources which may be variable in time. Fu...
