Abstract

Abstract The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is the first large acceptance magnetic spectrometer to perform a long term search of antimatter and dark matter in space. The current theoretical view on antimatter and dark matter and the experimental status of the searchers are reviewed. The AMS detector and its performance during a precursor flight on the shuttle and the main mission on the International Space Station Alpha are described.
