Description
AMS is a broad international collaboration operating a cosmic-ray observatory installed on the International Space Station (ISS). ESA and NASA are two of the main supporting organizations for the experiment. The main goals of AMS are to perform a detailed measurement of the cosmic-ray spectrum, to search for cosmological antimatter and to search for dark matter. The LIP group is centered in the RICH subdetector and in AMS data analysis, particularly the study of the solar modulation effect in cosmic rays.
