Positron fraction, electron and positron spectra measured by AMS-02

Positron fraction, electron and positron spectra measured by AMS-02

A precise measurement by AMS-02 of the electron spectrum up to 700 GeV and of the positron spectrum and positron fraction in primary cosmic rays up 500 GeV are presented. The combined measurement of the cosmic-ray electron and positron energy spectra and fraction provide a unique tool to improve our...
