SUMMARY:Latest Results from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer: a multipu
 rpose particle physics detector aboard the International Space Station
 \, Physics Department Colloquium\, Karen G. Andeen\, Marquette Univers
 ity
DESCRIPTION:The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS)\, a state-of-the-art
  cosmic-ray detector\, has been operating on the international Space S
 tation since May 19\, 2011.  AMS was designed and developed to operate
  in the unique environment of space\, with an aim to conduct a long-du
 ration mission of fundamental physics research.  AMS has collected dat
 a continuously since the start of data acquisition and has accumulated
  more than 68 billion cosmic ray events in 4 years of operation.  Anal
 yses using these data have been published recently on cosmic ray compo
 sition and flux\, providing new insights in open fields like the searc
 h for primordial antimatter and the search for evidence of Dark Matter
 .  This talk will focus on the experimental design and operations as w
 ell as recent results.  Students are especially encouraged to attend!
