Unique Properties of Primary Cosmic Rays Measured by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: We present high statistics measurements of primary cosmic rays Protons, Helium, Carbon, Oxygen, Neon, Magnesium, Silicon, Sulfur, Iron, and Nickel latest results from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer. The data shows that to high degree of accuracy there are only two classes of primary cosmic ray elements for nuclei with Z>=2.
