阿尔法磁谱仪（AMS）是一种粒子物理探测器，设计用于测量高达TeV区域的带电宇宙射线光谱，具有高达几百GeV的高能光子探测能力。在1998年STS-91的成功先驱飞行之后，探测器被重新设计（AMS-02），在国际空间站（ISS）上运行3年。AMS-02的接受度高，飞行时间长，拥有最先进的粒子识别技术，将大大提高反物质和暗物质搜索的灵敏度。此外，AMS-02将提供具有空前大的统计数据和广泛的运动学范围的宇宙线通量测量。
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a particle physics detector designed to measure charged cosmic ray spectra up to the TeV region, with high-energy photon detection capability up to a few hundred GeV. After the successful precursor flight on STS-91 in 1998 the detector was redesigned (AMS-02) to operate for 3 years on the International Space Station (ISS). With its large acceptance, the long flight duration and its state-of-the-art particle identification techniques, AMS-02 will increase substantially the sensitivity on antimatter and dark matter searches. In addition, AMS-02 will provide measurements of cosmic ray fluxes with unprecedentedly large statistics and over a wide kinematic range.
