Scientific paper

Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a general purpose high energy particle detector which will be deployed on the International Space Station (ISS) at the end of 2010 - beginning of 2011 to conduct a unique 10 to 18 year mission of fundamental physics research in space. Among the physics objectives of AMS are a search for an understanding of Dark Matter, Antimatter, the origin of cosmic rays and the exploration of new physics phenomena not possible to study from ground based experiments. This article reviews the status of the AMS-02 detector construction, detector calibration results as well as AMS physics potential for new phenomena searches.
