Scientific paper
After the successful test flight in 1998, the AMS experiment has been redesigned to improve its performances for future operation on the ISS. In particular, the use of superconducting magnet will allow the AMS-02 spectrometer to reach a bending power of ˜0.8 Tm2 . The tracking detector has been optimized to take advantage of the increased magnetic field strength and a new thermal control system has been designed to minimize the heat transfer from the tracker electronics to the magnet. The tracker is made of ˜6.4 m2 of double sided microstrip silicon detectors arranged in eight planes, with a single point resolution of 10(30) microns in the bending (non bending) coordinate. The description of the tracker system will be presented.
