Description
Understanding the precise rigidity dependence of the carbon flux sheds light on the origin, acceleration and propagation of cosmic rays. The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) provides measurements of cosmic rays with high accuracy. Data analysis procedures, focusing on charge selection and efficiency calculations, together with the measurement of the carbon flux based on data collected by AMS in the first 5 years of operation, will be presented.
