The Gamma Ray Detection Capabilities of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer

The modeled performance of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) as a high-energy (0.3 to 100 GeV) gamma-ray detector is described, and its gamma-ray astrophysics objectives are discussed. PACS,

The OPERA Experiment

OPERA(Oscillation Project with EmulsiontRacking Apparatus) is a new detector concept, iron(lead)emulsion for a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. This experiment would perform an appearance search for υμ−υτ oscillation in the parameter region indicated by the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. OPERA can run at the Gran Sasso Laboratory in the proposed NGS (Neutrino to Gran Sasso) Beam fr...

Preconcentration of Cu(II)with magnetic nanocomposite sorbentsprior to determination by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometer

A simple, highly sensitive, accurate and selective method for determination of trace amounts of Cu2+ in water samples .In this paper, Chitosan was used to encapsulate nano-Fe3O4 and produce a nano-Fe3O4-CHITOSAN sorbent based new sorbent was prepared. This was treated with ethylenediamine (ED) in another solvent-free procedure for the formation of a novel nano-Fe3O4-Chitosan-ED.Flame atomic abs...

Search for Antimatter in Space with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a state of the art particle physics experiment for the extraterrestrial study of antimatter, matter and missing matter. AMS successfully completed the precursor STS91 Discovery flight (June 2nd-12th, 1998), completing 152 orbits at ±52 of latitude and about 400 km of height, collecting more than 100 million CR events. In this paper we report on the first...
