Abstract

The AMS-02 detector is made up of different sub-detectors used to develop accurate measurement of electrons in the GeV to TeV energy range. The master's students will work with the AMS-02 IFSC-USP group in the analysis of data collected by the AMS detector, focusing on the measurement of cosmic rays electrons.
