What have learned after 6 years in space? Challenges in cosmic ray physics in view of the latest AMS-02 results
The AMS-02 experiment is a large acceptance magnetic spectrometer, operating aboard the International Space Station since May 2011.
More than 100 billion cosmic ray events have been collected during the past 6 years, allowing for precise measurement of charged cosmic rays in the GeV to TeV energy range. In this talk I will present published results about the flux of protons, antiprotons, helium, electrons and positrons. Unpublished results about the Lithium, Boron and Carbon will also be discussed.
AMS-02 results are in tension with the conventional model of cosmic ray production, acceleration and propagation: an outline of possible open scenarios will be given.
