The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a high-energy physics experiment designed to operate in space on board the International Space Station (ISS), where it has been installed on May 16th 2011, and is taking data continuously since then. Thanks to the very large acceptance (~ 0.5 m2 sr) and an exposure time of several years, AMS-02 will measure a wealth of data to study with...
