Descripción
AMS (Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer) is a particle detector designed to
operate at the International Space Station. Starting in 2008, its
purpose is to perform accurate, high statistics, long duration
measurements of energetic (0.1 GeV to ˜TeV) charged cosmic ray
spectra in space, providing fundamental information about key
ingredients in the spallation reactions taking place in the interstellar
medium. We present here the characteristics of this experiment and the
extense collaboration supporting the project.
