  1. Astroparticle Physics in Space Claudia Cecchi Dipartimento di Fisica e Sezione INFN, Perugia Workshop Nazionale La Scienza e la Tecnologia sulla Stazione Spaziale Internazionale (ISS), Torino 16-18 maggio 2001

  2. Physics of AMS • Search for Nuclear Antimatter with a 10-9 sensitivity (anti-He,….,C) • Search for supersymmetric Dark Matter (p-, e+, g spectra ) • Astrophysics: light isotopes, 2H, 3He, 9Be/10Be, B/C

  3. RECENT AMS RESULTS STS 91 Flight, June 1998

  4. NEW LIMIT ON antiHe

  5. RESULTS on High Energy CR fluxes on LEO(trapped energetic particles)

  6. Interazione RC con il campo geomagnetico Intrappolato (fasce) Caotico Primario poco deflesso Primario molto deflesso

  7. AMS belts vs Van Allen belts • Van Allen belts: • Low energy from ~ 1 MeV to ~ 100 MeV • Contains e-, p • High L-shells  high altitude • Life time O(years) • Decays of neutrons produced in interactions of primary with the atmosphere (CRAND) • Solar wind induced magnetic storms

  8. AMS belts vs Van Allen belts • AMS belts: • High energy from ~ 1 GeV to ~ 10 GeV • Contains e+, e-, p, 3He • e+ over e- dominance • Low L- shell  low altitude • Life time O(seconds) => Secondary production from CR interaction with atmosphere

  9. RESULTS on Primary Cosmic Ray Spectra

  10. Energy Range of AMS on ISS p+ up to several TeV p- up to 200 GeV e- up to O(TeV) e+ up to 200 GeV He,….C up to several TeV anti – He…C up to O(TeV) g up to 100 GeV Light Isotopes up to 20 GeV

  11. Physics of AMSg • Detection of extragalactic sources • AGN • Blazars • Measurement of g absorption nIR/Ho • Search for supersymmetric dark matter • g - ray burst

  12. Energy range of AMSg 0.3 to 100 GeV 30-100 GeV --> new range to be explored

  13. Mission profile • AMS: 2003- 2007 on the ISS (52o) (three years) • Agile 2003 • GLAST 2006

  14. Electrons Positrons on low earth orbit

  15. Protons in low earth orbit
