Sumario: | AMS-02 is a cosmic-ray detector which has been operating on the International Space Station since May 2011 to conduct a unique mission of fundamental research in space. More than 100 billion cosmic rays have been collected by AMS-02 after 6 years of operations, providing a detailed insight into the features of different species of cosmic rays. This contribution reviews the recent AMS-02 results based on 6 years of operations in space and their contribution to the advances in the understanding of cosmic-ray origin, acceleration and propagation physics. |
