Abstract

The AMS experiment has been deployed onboard the International Space Station on 19 May 2011 to perform accurate measurements of the cosmic radiation. In this contribution we will briefly discuss the characteristics of the detector and present the first results: the precision measurement of the positron fraction in primary cosmic rays (CR) in the energy range from 0.5 to 350 GeV.
