Description
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer is a precision particle physics
detector installed on the International Space Station since May 19, 2011.
More than 40 billion of cosmic ray particles have been collected in
its first 30 months of operations and nearly 11 million electron and
positrons have been selected among them to accurately measure
their fluxes in an extended energy range. Results on the positron fraction,
e+, e- and combined (e++e-) fluxes will be discussed as well as
the detector performances and analysis techniques used to achieve them.
