Description

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), to be installed on the International Space Station, will provide data on cosmic radiations in a large range of rigidity from 0.5 GV up to TV. The main physics goals in the astroparticle domain are the anti-matter and the dark matter searches. AMS offers a unique opportunity to study simultaneously SUSY dark matter in three decay channels from the neutralino annihilation: e+, antiproton and gamma. The expected flux sensitivities in 3 year exposure for the e+/e- ratio, antiproton, antideuterons and gamma rays as a function of energy are presented and compared to other direct and indirect searches.
