The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a large acceptance (≈ 0.8m2sr) particle physics detector, planned to perform accurate, long duration measurements of charged cosmic rays (up to the TeV energy range) and gamma rays in space. The detector is approved by NASA to be installed on the International Space Station and is expected to take data for at least 3 years. AMS-02 is designed for superb particle identification, so that it will provide precise spectra for particles and antiparticles and all nuclear isotopes up to Fe. This will allow to constrain the propagation models of our galaxy with unprecedented precision and start to investigate new phenomena, usually not included in such models, like the presence of antimatter in our universe or the production of antimatter and gamma rays by Dark Matter Annihilation. This paper concentrates on the latter topic.
