Precision measurements of cosmic ray fluxes from AMS-02 with a daily time resolution — Stefan Schael and •Henning Gast — I. Physikalisches Institut, RWTH Aachen, Sommerfeldstr. 14, D-52074 Aachen

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, AMS-02, is a general-purpose high-energy particle physics detector. It was installed on the International Space Station in May 2011 to conduct a unique long duration mission of fundamental physics research in space. In 11 years AMS-02 has continuously collected data from more than 200 billion cosmic rays. The AMS-02 precision measurements have revealed new and distinct information that change our understanding of the production, acceleration and propagation of charged cosmic rays. In this presentation the recent measurements of the proton, helium, electron and positron fluxes with a daily time resolution will be summarized. These new precision measurements provide unique inputs to the understanding of cosmic rays in the heliosphere.
