AMS-02 data analysis

Contact: Dr. Henning Gast

Since the days of AMS-01, we have been playing a leading role in the analysis of the positron and electron spectra. We performed the first measurement of time-dependent fluxes with AMS and developed the first analysis of high-energy photons with AMS.

Today, our analysis efforts are focused on

  • the measurement and interpretation of the electron and positron fluxes [1],
  • the search for antihelium in cosmic rays [2],
  • the measurement of high-energy photons with AMS [3],
  • and the use of deep learning methods for AMS data analysis.
