Abstract

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a state of the art Cosmic Ray magnetic detector operating on the International Space Station (ISS) since may 2011, performing a continuous, direct measurement of Cosmic Ray flux and composition in the rigidity range, R = p/Ze, O(1GV ) - O(1TV). The large statistics collected during 13  years of operation, more than 1.5 1011 particles, together with the excellent particle identification provided by the instruments, allows for the precise study of the spectra of all Cosmic Ray species (p, He, Li, Be, B, C, N, O . . . and e), and begins the exploration of the rare antimatter components (p ̄,e+ ,anti-D, anti-He3, anti-He4...), which can be used as probes to search for new physics phenomena. We review the results obtained from the data collected so far, the perspectives of the ongoing analyses and of the forthcoming 10 years of data taking on the ISS.
