Scientific paper

The Alpha Magnetic spectrometer (AMS-01) experiment was flown on the space shuttle Discovery during flight STS-91 (1998) in a 51.7° orbit at altitudes between 320 and 390 km. More than 4×106 He events were collected during the flight. We have searched for doubly charged anomalously heavy nuclei, and one candidate event, corresponding to the flux of 5 · 10-5 (m2 ·sr·sec)-1 , was found. The candidate has Z of A 0.114±0.01 and kinetic energy of 2.1 GeV. The background from ordinary nuclei was estimated to be less than 10-3 events.
