“…On the AMS port side, the temperature of the Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) Gas System (location shown in Fig. 6) [3] is strongly affected by the STRRJ position for some β Angles. The TRD Gas Canister, which contains the redundant gas pumps of the TRD Gas System, often gets low temperature warnings when † Port side Solar Arrays are locked close to vertical position.…”

A thermal model of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station (ISS) has been developed, and Thermal Desktop R (with RadCAD R) and SINDA/FLUINT software have been used to calculate the effects of the operations of the ISS Main Radiators on AMS temperatures. We find that the ISS Starboard Main Radiator has significant influence on temperatures on the port side of AMS. The simulation results are used in AMS thermal control operations.

“…3) AMS-02 would include a transition radiation detector which would allow separation of protons from electrons at energies well above 200 GeV [Kirn & Siedenburg(2004)]. This would decrease the amount of misidentified protons that must be subtracted from the electron data.…”

The majority of mass in the universe has not been observed optically and is termed dark matter. The supersymmetric neutralino provides an interesting dark matter candidate, which may self-annihilate in our galaxy, producing particles visible in the cosmic ray spectrum. During a ten day space shuttle flight, the AMS-01 detector recorded over 100 million cosmic ray events. This analysis searches for the products of neutralino annihilation in the AMS-01 Z=-1 spectrum, and uses the results to place limits on which supersymmetric and dark matter halo distribution models are compatible.
