AMS-02 the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer high energy science experiment

[NASA Science @NASAScience_]

Data from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on @Space_Station has led to precise behavioral measurements of deuterons, proton-neutron pairs found in cosmic rays. These findings advance the search for dark matter and deepen an understanding of the universe. https://t.co/8B2mS88yef

@AMS_02 is getting an upgrade! Glad to be on the team to evaluate the extensive spacewalking tasks needed to get the job done. We are bringing NASA's great EVA expertise to the fore, including some of our Hubble team. Go AMS_02! Go #ISS ! PS: That is me in the space suit!

Con gran pesar anunciamos el fallecimiento de nuestro compañero y amigo Javier Berdugo, anterior responsable de la División de Astrofísica de Partículas y pilar fundamental de nuestro grupo.

Gracias Javier. Tus compañeros y amigos te recordaremos por siempre.

“I was the last commander of the #spaceshuttle #Endeavour. I brought up what’s arguably the most valuable payload ever floated in the space shuttle: It was the #AlphaMagneticSpectrometer on my last flight.” @SenMarkKelly about @AMS_02 :

Raggi cosmici: le differenze tra i flussi di elettroni e protoni e le loro variazioni nel tempo, osservate grazie all’utilizzo di rivelatori spaziali come @AMS_02, potrebbero essere conseguenza dei cicli solari. A sostenerlo uno studio su @PhysRevLett.

Ecco la mia copia di "Advances in cosmology". Con "The right key", raccontiamo le 4 EVAs di @astro_luca per la riparazione di @AMS_02. È un'immersione nell’orbita bassa dove gli imprevisti sono sempre in agguato ma risolti grazie ad anni di preparazione e impegno.

Il Corriere fa la scelta curiosa di raccontare la notizia della probabile fusione nei lab di Livermore attraverso una visita ad altri lab a Boston, che lavorano con altre tecnologie, del chief executive di Eni (e già li…) a cui viene fatto dire che:

🌟The @AMS_02 experiment looks for #dark matter, #antimatter and missing matter at an altitude of 400km, from the @Space_Station. The detector was installed in 2011 and sent data back to @NASA and #CERN for analysis.

These photos from 2019 show @Space_Station astronauts getting to grips with the cooling system technology of the Alpha Magnetic Specrometre.

A few months later, @astro_luca and @AstroDrewMorgan contributed to repairing the AMS detector aboard the ISS.

The #PhotoOfTheWeek is about @AMS_02, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer located on the @Space_Station.

In 2020, AMS scientists were in contact with the ISS astronauts as they did four spacewalks to service AMS.

#ThrowbackThursday to 16 May 2011, and the launch of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (@AMS_02). It was delivered to the @Space_Station by the Space Shuttle Endeavour. #FollowTheProtons

#OnThisDay Austrian physicist Victor Hess discovered cosmic rays, leading to the 1936 @Nobelprize in physics. 💫

Cosmic rays have proved useful ever since in physics experiments, including several at CERN, such as CLOUD, @AMS_02 and LHCf. Read more: https://t.co/P5UH7Q5zOW

Il 2011 è l’anno del lancio del più grande rivelatore spaziale di antimateria, l’Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer @AMS_02, che, realizzato con un fondamentale contributo INFN, raggiunge la Stazione Spaziale Internazionale il 19 maggio. #INFN70

@DCirioni_AVDA @astro_luca @AMSISS Non so se ci sia anche in Disney+ Italia. Le riprese le hanno fatte, per AMS, all'ultimo meeting f2f pre-COVID...

Years of hard work, training and execution in just 60’’! Happy AMSiversary :)

[NASA Science @NASAScience_]

#OTD last year, the last spacewalk to repair the @Space_Station’s Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-02 was completed by @Astro_Luca and @AstroDrewMorgan. This scientific device is helping researchers better understand dark matter and the origins of the universe. https://t.co/Ujj9LMFwGR

Great memories of what seems a distant past... 😌⏱🚀 But will remain always close to heart! 🥰 @AMSISS @AMS_02
