Search for Dark Matter with AMS-02 — •Chan Hoon Chung — I. Physikalishces Institut B, RWTH-Aachen, D-52074, Aachen, Germany

The dark matter constitutes 85% of the matter density in the Universe and the investigation of its nature is one of the most important goals in astroparticle physics. The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer(AMS-02) is a particle physics detector designed to measure charged cosmic rays spectra up to TV region on the International Space Station(ISS) for at least three years. The observation of cosmic positrons and antiprotons spectra offers an attractive way to search for supersymmetric dark matter candidates through annihilations in the galactic halo as well as study of galactic comsic-ray propagation models. In this presentaion, we would review the present situations and show the performance of AMS-02 detector for dark matter searches in space.
