متن کاملThe 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 کامل0 The AMS - 01 Aerogel Threshold C̆erenkov counter
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer in a precursor version (AMS-01), was flown in June 1998 on a 51.6 orbit and at altitudes ranging between 320 and 390 km, on board of the space shuttle Discovery (flight STS-91). AMS-01 included an Aerogel Threshold C̆erenkov counter (ATC) to separate p̄ from e and e from p, for momenta below 3.5 GeV/c. This paper presents a description of the ATC counter and report...
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...
