Plenary Mechanics & Space
- Joachim Josef Mnich (CERN)
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a particle-physics experiment that measures cosmic ray components in low-earth orbit. With its permanent magnet and instrumentation, AMS analyzes cosmic rays across a rigidity range from 1 GV to several TVs. Since its installation on the International Space Station in 2011, AMS has been discerning antimatter from matter. It will continue to collect data...
A new generation of space experiments is essential to address the unresolved questions raised by recent measurements from current experiments, and to further advance our understanding of cosmic rays. The challenge of the direct detection at increasingly higher energies, combined with enhanced energy and angular resolutions, is shaping the design of future detectors. The High Energy...
