Description

A precision measurement by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer of the Boron to Carbon fluxes ratio with energies from 0.5 GeV/nucleon to 1 TeV/nucleon based on 10 million events is presented. Precision measurement of the Boron flux, based on 2 million events, together with the variation of the flux spectral index with rigidity is also presented.
