The AMS-RICH velocity and charge reconstruction
F. Barao, M. Aguilar-Benitez, L. Arruda +37
The AMS detector, to be installed on the International Space Station, includes a Ring Imaging Cerenkov detector with two different radiators, silica aerogel (n=1.05) and sodium flu…
The AMS-02 RICH Imager Prototype - In-Beam Tests with 20 GeV/c per Nucleon Ions -
M. Buenerd, P. Aguayo, M. Aguilar Benitez +32
A prototype of the AMS Cherenkov imager (RICH) has been tested at CERN by means of a low intensity 20 GeV/c per nucleon ion beam obtained by fragmentation of a primary beam of Pb i…
Atmospheric and Galactic Production and Propagation of Light Antimatter Nuclei
B. Baret, R. Duperray, G. Boudoul +4
The production and propagation of light antimatter nuclei has been calculated using inclusive antiproton production cross sections from a new data analysis, and coalescence models…
An improved gamma-ray limit on the density of PBHs
A. Barrau, G. Boudoul, L. Derome
Gamma-rays are, with antiprotons, a very efficient way to derive upper limits on the density of evaporating black holes. They have been successfully used in the last decades to sev…
Galactic Cosmic Ray Nuclei as a Tool for Astroparticle Physics
David Maurin, Richard Taillet, Fiorenza Donato +3
Cosmic Ray nuclei in the energy range 100 MeV/nuc - 100 GeV/nuc provide crucial information about the physical properties of the Galaxy. They can also be used to answer questions r…
Antimatter from primordial black holes
Aurelien Barrau
Antiprotons and antideuterons are considered as probes to look for primordial black holes in our Galaxy. I give a brief overview of the latest developments on the subject.
