AMS-02 is a general purpose cosmic ray detector operating on the International Space Station since 19 May 2011. Results based on the data collected during the first 2.5 years of the mission include high precision measurements of the proton, helium, electron and positron fluxes, and the boron to carbon ratio in the energy range from ~1GeV/n to ~1TeV/n. The positron fraction is determined in the...

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a worldwide project aiming at building the next ground-based gamma-ray observatory with a sensitivity ten times better than current experiments like H.E.S.S., MAGIC and VERITAS. CTA will be composed of several tens of telescopes with two-to-three different sizes distributed on two sites located in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. CTA will also have...
