Simulation of the gamma-ray galactic distribution as seen by the AMS-2

In this note, we report the results of a simulation of the galactic component of high energy gamma rays, as seen by the future AMS-02 experiment on-board the International Space Station. The purpose of AMS is to measure the Cosmic Ray spectra of numerous particles with unprecedented accuracy. This simulation has been performed with the GALPROP code and its output interfaced with the AMS Fast Simulator, to produce a sky-map of yearly counts in the AMS energy range (over 1 GeV).

The AMS-02 RICH Imager Prototype - In-Beam Tests with 20 GeV/c per Nucleon Ions -

A prototype of the AMS Cherenkov imager (RICH) has been tested at CERN by means of a low intensity 20 GeV/c per nucleon ion beam obtained by fragmentation of a primary beam of Pb ions. Data have been collected with a single beam setting, over the range of nuclear charges 2<Z<~45 in various beam conditions and using different radiators. The charge Z and velocity beta resolutions have been measured.
