10/22 12:30 Prof. Yi Yang (Academia Sinica) The AMS experiment and its latest results and upgrades (R521, 5F, General Building II, Nat'l Tsing Hua Univ.)
******** CTCD/NTHU HEP Seminar ********
Speaker : Prof. Yi Yang (Academia Sinica)
Title : The AMS experiment and its latest results and upgrades
Time ：12:30-13:30, Thursday, 2026/10/22
Place ：R521, 5F, General Building II, Nat'l Tsing Hua Univ.
Host ： Prof. Kingman Cheung (NTHU) & Prof. Norihiro Iizuka (NTHU)
Abstract:
Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02), led by the Nobel Prize winner Professor Samuel C. C. Ting, is an international collaborative research project in experimental high-energy physics. AMS-02 is a general-purpose particle detector mounted on the International Space Station (ISS) since May 19 2011, and is expected to operate with the ISS while taking high-energy cosmic ray data. The main purpose of the AMS-02 experiment is to collect and measure relevant high-energy particles originating from deep space, such as electrons, positrons, protons, antiprotons, and so on. To this end, we might be able to explain some of the Universe's most important mysteries, namely, the asymmetry in the ratio of matter and anti-matter and the origin of dark matter. I will introduce the AMS-02 experiment, present its latest results, and discuss the upgrades.
