Scientific paper

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer 02 (AMS-02), like the AMS-01 experiment flown in 1998 on board the Space Shuttle, offers a unique opportunity for exploration of cosmic rays. AMS-02 will be installed to the International Space Station (ISS) providing precise data on cosmic radiation spectra in a wide energy range for at least three years. Although the major part of cosmic ray particles is of astrophysical origin, a small component may originate from interaction of dark matter particles. Redundant detection in several sub-detectors with accurate particle identification allows precision measurements and identification of up to now concealed or undetected deviation from Standard Model prediction. After an introduction to detector design, an overview of physics goals of AMS-02 is given.
