Scientific paper

The Alpha Magnetic spectrometer (AMS-02) is an experiment which will be mounted on the International Space Station (ISS) to measure primary cosmic ray spectra in space. It includes a Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) to distinguish p/p from e+ /e- . The TRD has been calibrated and its performance measured in test beams at CERN from 3 to 250 GeV/c and compared with MonteCarlo predictions. It achieved a rejection factors from 2000-140 for protons in an energy range of 15-250 GeV/c. The TRD modules and structures have undergone an extensive program of space qualification. Selected modules are undergoing a long term test in a vacuum chamb er.
