Description
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) was installed in 2011 on the International Space Station and has been operating continuously ever since. With a staggering dataset of more than 250 billion detected cosmic rays, AMS has enabled high-precision studies of cosmic-ray properties, including detailed measurements of their rare antimatter components. In this talk, I will review the AMS experiment, summarize key scientific results obtained so far, and discuss ongoing research on heavy antimatter. I will also outline the prospects for future measurements and the mission's long-term scientific potential.
