The AMS-02 detector operation in space
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer is a large acceptance instrument conceived for the search of primordial anti-matter and dark matter on board the International Space Station (ISS) orbiting at ∼400 km from the earth surface. Nine layers of double sided silicon microstrip detectors track with a single point resolution of 10 µm the charged particle trajectories bent in the magnetic field of a perma...
متن کاملAstrophysics with the AMS-02 experiment
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), whose final version AMS-02 is to be installed on the International Space Station (ISS) for at least 3 years, is a detector designed to measure charged cosmic ray spectra with energies up to the TeV region and with high energy photon detection capability up to a few hundred GeV, using state-of-the-art particle identification techniques. Following the succes...
متن کاملCosmic 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 کاملIndirect Searches for Dark Matter with AMS-02
AMS-02 is a multi-purpose spectrometer with superconducting magnet, and is designed for 3 years of data taking aboard the International Space Station. Its high performance regarding particle identification and energy measurement will allow performing indirect searches for dark matter (DM) in different channels simultaneously: gamma rays, positrons and antiprotons. AMS-02 sensitivity to those si...
متن کاملDiscriminating the source of high-energy positrons with AMS-02
We study the prospects for discriminating between the dark matter (DM) and pulsar origin of the PAMELA positron excess with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer AMS-02. We simulate the response of AMS-02 to positrons (and electrons) originating from DM annihilations, and determine the pulsar parameters (spin-down luminosity, distance and characteristic age) that produce a satisfactory fit to the moc...
