Article Synopsis
  • This study analyzes the cosmic rays of sodium (Na) and aluminum (Al) within a rigidity range of 2.15 GV to 3.0 TV, using data from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the ISS.
  • The findings indicate that Na and Al belong to a unique cosmic ray group alongside nitrogen (N), showing similar flux behaviors.
  • The research establishes that both Na and Al fluxes can be explained by a combination of primary and secondary cosmic ray components, with the primary component becoming more significant at higher rigidities.

We present the precision measurement from May 2011 to May 2017 (79 Bartels rotations) of the proton fluxes at rigidities from 1 to 60 GV and the helium fluxes from 1.9 to 60 GV based on a total of 1×10^{9} events collected with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer aboard the International Space Station. This measurement is in solar cycle 24, which has the solar maximum in April 2014.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS01), a high-sensitivity particle spectrometer, was successfully flown for 10 d in June 1998 (STS91) in the orbit of the International Space Station (51.7 degrees, -380 km). A high-statistics dataset of galactic cosmic rays were measured as a function of geomagnetic latitude, including the primary protons, leptons and helium as well as the trapped and quasi-trapped proton and lepton components.
