4 The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) Experiment AMS Yan-Hann Chang, NCU PPP9, Chng-Li, AMS is a Particle detector in Space Particle detector: The cosmic rays carry a lot of information. Detailed stdy of cosmic ray is key to nderstand certain aspect of the niverse. Space: These particles cannot be observed on grond, becase the earth is protected by a thick layer of atmosphere. Traditionally the stdy of cosmic rays are carried ot by balloon experiments. They typically operates for jst a few days. AMS is a large magnetic spectrometer in orbit, to be operating for 20 years on ISS. The key problem is a magnet that can be delivered to and operate in space.
