Search for Cosmic Ray Anisotropy with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station

The search for cosmic ray anisotropy has been performed using particles collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer after the first five years of operation. The positron to electron ratio is consistent with isotropy at all energies and angular scales. The limit on the dipole anisotropy at the 95% confidence level for energies above 16GeV is $δ<0.020$ for positrons and $δ<0.006$ for electrons. In the case of high rigidity protons the upper limit in the rigidity range from 80 to 1800GV is $δ<0.003$. No indication of seasonal excess is observed for all particle species within the present statistics.

Results on Solar Physics from AMS-02

AMS-02 is a wide acceptance high-energy physics experiment installed on the International Space Station in May 2011 and operating continuously since then. Using the largest number of detected particles in space of any space-borne experiment, it performs precision measurements of galactic cosmic rays fluxes. Detailed time variation studies of Protons, Heliums, Electron and Positron fluxes were presented. The low-rigidity range exhibits a decreasing general trend strongly related to the increase of solar activity, as well local decreases associated with strong solar events.
