*2011 Launch : Space Shuttle Endeavour STS-134 at 12 : 56 : 28 UTC . Mission highlights : ISS assembly flight ULF6, ELC 3, ROEU, Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer.

However, the common method of determining the energy spectrum of energetic particles at that time relied on the use of very large and cumbersome magnetic spectrometers and ionization chambers.

The Discovery is also carrying the first high-energy physics experiment to go into space, called the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, which is designed to look for the missing mass of the universe.
24.
Solid state nuclear track detectors ( SSNTD ) insensitive to alpha particles and magnetic spectrometers in which alpha particles are deflected by a strong magnetic field have been used to overcome this difficulty.

These include the ANKE magnetic spectrometer, the TOF flight spectrometer and the WASA universal detector, which was moved to COSY from the CELSIUS storage ring of The Svedberg Laboratoriet ( TSL ) in Uppsala, Sweden in 2005.

The crew, including a Russian cosmonaut, performed logistics and hardware resupply of the Mir during four docked days . They also conducted the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment, which involved the first of its kind research of antimatter in space.

Carso is partner of the International Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer ( AMS ) project, an International Space Station particle physics experiment designed to search for and measure, with a much greater sensitivity than heretofore possible, various unusual types of matter and antimatter.

CALET may also yield evidence of rare interactions between matter and dark matter by working in synergy with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer ( AMS ) also aboard the ISS that is looking at positrons and antiprotons to identify dark matter.
29.
With modern magnetic spectrometers ( SOLENO and Enge-split pole ), at Orsay and Argonne National Laboratory ( see ch . 7 in Ref . [ 2 ] pp . 188 204 ), a very strong source could be used, so that results were obtained in a run of few hours.

Now, however, a three-ton antimatter detector called the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer ( its friends call it AMS, though had it been up to me I'd have jiggled the letters so it could be SAM ) is on a shakedown cruise, preparing to spend 2002 to 2005 connected to the new International Space Station.
