Measurements by the AMS experiment of the time dependence of the electron and of the positron flux in primary cosmic rays in the energy range from 0.5 GeV upwards are presented. The characteristics of the very accurate data will be discussed.

Knowledge of the precise rigidity dependence of the proton and helium fluxes in cosmic rays is important in understanding their origin, acceleration and propagation processes. We present a precision measurement of the proton flux at rigidity from 1 GV to 1.8 TV
and the helium flux at rigidity from 2 GV to 3 TV. The measurement is based on the data collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer...

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a state-of-the-art particle physics detector operating as an external module on the International Space Station (ISS) since May 2011. One of the key characteristics of AMS-02 is its capability to measure the relative abundances and absolute fluxes of the nuclear components of galactic cosmic rays in the kinetic energy range from 1 GeV/n to few TeV/n,...
