ABSTRACT
Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a unique high precision magnetic spectrometer in space. The project is led by Professor S. C. C. Ting, Nobel Laureate, and collaboration with about 60 institutes from 16 countries. AMS is designed to detect charged cosmic ray particles for studying dark matter, anti-matter and other unknown phenomena. Facing to extreme space environment, there were a lot of challenges in design, production, integration and operations. AMS has been successfully running in space for ~13 years. Up to now, AMS recorded ~230 billion cosmic ray events and published some important results.
