measurment of the cosmic ray electron flux with AMS02 — •Yasaman Najafijozani — RWTH Acchen University, Sammelbau Physik, Sommerfeldstr. 14, Turm 28, 52074 Aachen, Germany

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) on the International Space Station has been performing precision measurements of cosmic rays in the GeV to TeV energy range since 2011. The fluxes of electrons and positrons are potential probes of dark matter or new astrophysical phenomena. With AMS-02, electrons and positrons are identified by two independent subdetectors, a transition radiation detector, and an electromagnetic calorimeter. I will present my analysis of the cosmic-ray electron flux from 0.5 to 1000 GeV.
