Public lecture: The AMS Experiment on the International Space Station by prof. Samuel Ting

This is a public talk, given on November 9, 2023 by Nobel Laureate Professor Samuel Ting at UH Manoa Campus Center. In his lecture professor Ting discuss unexpected results, based on 11.5 years of AMS data. Since 2011 we measured fluxes of proton, helium, heavier nuclei as well as positrons and antiprotons. We also collected several antihelium events in 227 billion cosmic ray particle total statistics. From this lecture you learn about construction and maintenance challenges of the most sophisticated cosmic ray particle detector ever launched in space. Finally, professor Ting introduce our plans of detector upgrade which will allow to increase detector acceptance and measure fluxes of rare nuclei and positrons up to TeV energies.
