The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, AMS, is a high-energy particle detector performing unprecedented-precision measurements of cosmic rays of rigidity (momentum/charge) ranging from GV to 3 TV on the International Space Station (ISS). AMS has now…
Read moreAMS, passed the milestone of its first 10 years of continuous operation on the International Space Station. AMS is a particle physics detector designed to measure antiparticles, particles, and nuclei of rigidity (momentum/charge) ranging from the GV…
Read moreThe Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, AMS, is a particle physics detector operating on the International Space Station (Figure 1) since May 2011 with the aim to address long-standing open questions in fundamental physics, such as the matter-…
Read moreThe AMS-02 experiment was designed and developed by an international team led by MIT physicist Samuel Ting and assembled at CERN starting in 2003. Perched atop the International Space Station’s S3 truss segment, AMS-02 has been hunting for cosmic…
Read moreThe Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a state-of-the-art particle physics experiment operating on the International Space Station (ISS) since May 2011. In the first 6 years of missions, AMS has detected over 100 billion cosmic ray (CR) particles…
